So yesterday night at about 10pm when I went to lock up Coco in her kennel, I caught her eating a dead bird. There is a big possibility that she's eating dead lizard and rat too since she was able to eat the dead bird comfortably. I hope she doesn't get infected by bacteria sha.

I usually lock her up in her kennel 10pm and release at 6am, she gets 3hrs of freedom from that time(eat, train, play, stroll around the compound and outside compound viewing). I put her back in at 9am then release again at 12 noon, another 3hrs of freedom sometimes 2hrs or 1hr(eat, play) because people might be busy in the compound during that time and I don't want her disturbing them, so most times I put her back in during the day by 2pm. Her last freedom for the day comes around 5pm(a lot of play, train, eat and unrestricted access to all parts of the compound) till 10pm before she goes back in. We let her in the house sometimes, once she starts constituting, outside straight.

There was this cheap shampoo I bought for 6h that I was using to bath Coco, I honestly don't know if it was the shampoo or something else but I noticed her coat colour started fading and she was shedding a lot. I stopped using the shampoo immediately I noticed it and that was when I introduced raw egg and pedigree puppy can food to her diet, she was formerly on booster all life stages and since then her coat is returning to normal and there was a drastic reduction in shedding. The shampoo looked like those dish washing soap, same colour, same texture but different smell.

The pedigree food is finished, so this is just a make shift food for Coco pending when I travel down to ShopRite Warri to get some, dem dey cheat us for the price here. Well, the food consist of boiled rice, chicken, chicken head, chicken intestine, fried fish and one raw egg.

The shampoo.

Just got this from a pet shop, noticed Coco has been itching, licking and using her teeth on her skin for some time now. Sapele/Warri road is too bad, so going to ShopRite is cancelled until further notice.

Your dog would be so dumb

I went to the market this morning to get some cow meat and liver for Coco.. I gave her a little portion of the liver raw, she was slow in eating it compared to when I gave her raw chicken head.

Homemade flirt pole for Coco, she loves it and can chase all day long.

Lol, she finally caught the toy(prey) after some few minutes of chasing. We don't play it for too long because she's still too young to be running around and jumping.

I was supposed to get Coco diamond puppy food(3kg) yesterday and some pedigree puppy food too but I couldn't get the diamond because it was not readily available so I opted for binggo puppy(5kg). Well, it turned out to be a not so good decision, Coco ate a mixture of binggo, pedigree and scubia fish pretty well yesterday afternoon, fed on same in the evening. I let her in the house that night, after a while I noticed her activity level dropped, her stomach was making the sound of someone with hiccups then suddenly she threw up. Cleaned it up, showed her some love and waited for 10pm to reach so I can take her to her own space which I did.

Woke up 6 this morning to let her out as usual and I found out she threw twice, the vomit was many this time around unlike the one inside the house. Her poop this morning was watery but not smelly and her activity level is still low, looking dull

Taking her back to just pedigree and other things until I get her diamond puppy... Binggo is not good for her because all these happened after I fed her binggo yesterday.

Update: Just gave a mixture of pedigree puppy food, meat and egg... She refused to eat it. Calling in a vet this morning. See how she looking dull.

This is a boerboel/Gsd mix

True to that

The vet came this morning, he examined Coco and said it's bacteria infection and the new food I gave her was also not good for her digestive system. So he did a general treatment for the infection by administering 4 injections; oxytetracycline antibiotics, one immune system modulator that I've forgotten the name, multivitamin and dewormer.

She was able to move around this morning but couldn't eat, she drank only water. This afternoon I got her booster can food for all life stages and she was able to eat some. I'm observing her closely sha.....

I just dey hope say nor be parvo wey still dey incubation period be this.

So Coco has been drinking lots of water

MY thoughts exactly

amizzy48:

Same thing I thought initially but other more experienced people with dog thinks it's gsd/cauc mix. She's a good dog though.

Well, i'm glad Coco's condition has improved a lot. She's slightly active now and eating normal and drinking lots of water.

Gave her booster, fried fish and cooked egg and she ate it all.

I felt so sorry for Coco when she was being injected yesterday, the jumping, whining and crying. E be like their own injection dey do like novalgin injection too

Just when I was thinking she's better this morning, back to being playful but not at a 100 and also how firm her poop was now then boom after some play she threw up but different from the yesterday's own. Don't know if she's reacting to the antibiotics because I read online that antibiotics sometimes causes stomach upset which leads to vomiting.

Will call the vet to give him all these info once it's 8am

I tried handfeeding and it worked, I guessed she was just being picky. It was booster canned food and fried fish I gave her this morning, I noticed when I handfed her the fish she ate it but if I do same with booster she refuses. So I handfed her just the fish, hopefully I can get her something different today but before then i'll give her the booster again and see if she eats it.

Coco is still active, she don chase ball, play small tug and even barked at two people today(one stranger that came to supply tomato/pepper and one of my mom sales girl; don't know what the girl did to her). She's inside the house now resting.

Coco has been sleeping inside the house since, she's back to not being active, not eating, drinking only water. Even the fish I said she managed to eat this morning when I handfed she vomitted them all about 2hrs+ ago. Called the vet, he said he's coming to check on her this evening.

If after today her condition doesn't improve, I will look to calling in another vet. It's so sad seeing her this way.

It all started two days ago when I fed her binggo puppy dry food or maybe it's just a coincidence.

I warned against feeding chicken bones BT u till kept giving her cooked chicken head. I just hope DAT is not the problem.
Wishing her a quick recovery

While I can't rule that out, I'm not sure that's the cause because she's has not had chicken heads for about 6 days now.

Thanks

when changing dog food you transition you don't change suddenly. same thing will happen even if you give royal canine
