Hi, as a local dog walker seeing and hearing of quite a few dogs coming down with the runs and vomiting, can any dog owners shed light if they have been to the vets? Will this pass quickly? Dogs energetic and eating so I have advised any I walk to keep up the fluids and go on booked rice and chicken. If any dogs are going to vomit on the rye please collect it than leave for others (if you can bag it please), or don't mix for a few days until illness over? Many thanks m
There is a virus going around, I read about it Initially on Facebook via my breeder over the weekend and on Sunday night/ Monday morning one of my dogs showed symptoms - vomiting, diarrhoea, general lethargy. I took her to the vet immediately and they confirmed there is a known virus doing the rounds not just on the Rye but in the general south east area. She is on a course of antibiotics and is slowly getting back to normal.

Antibiotics only treat bacterial ailments. You said it?s a virus

Yes - my dog had this between Xmas and new year. It was very swift - lethargy with vomiting and diarrhoea (with quite a lot of blood in poo) taken to emergency vets who admitted him and put on a drip. It took him a week to get back to normal, with several follow ups. They had no idea what it was (I was thinking poisoning but there was nothing showing)

Was on antibiotics plus other gut supportive medicines.


Right as rain now but pretty scary.

Thanks for your comments. The dogs I know who are ill are still energetic and eating so sorry to hear Tiddles about your dog having a bad case of whatever it is. A friend shared this newsfeed: https://vethelpdirect.com/vetblog/2020/02/03/new-vomiting-bug-hitting-uk-dogs/

Stopping opportunistic infection whilst they are ill I suppose - as you say will not stop the underlying virus.

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
