vincentjk:
Never heard of this at all, you see why I kept telling you yesterday to go to a vet

Sometimes we can't do these things alone, hope she recovers quickly

She's really having a quick recovery

finally I confirmed that my lil princess is suffering from

ENTEROTOXEMIA

Clostridial enterotoxicosis is an intestinal syndrome brought on by abnormally high levels of Clostridium perfringens bacterium, a bacteria found commonly inhabiting decaying vegetation and marine sediment. It can also be acquired from raw or improperly cooked meats and poultry, and meats that have been left out in the open. There is also evidence that dogs can acquire this infection from being with other dogs, such as when boarded at a kennel.

Generally, the implications of the clostridial enterotoxicosis are limited to infections of the intestinal tract and do not progress to systemic disease conditions. Symptoms typically last a week in acute cases and include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. Long-term (chronic) cases of clostridial enterotoxicosis, meanwhile, involve recurrences of diarrhea, which may repeat every two to four weeks, and may continue for months to years. In fact, clostridial enterotoxicosis in dogs is suspected to occur in up to 20 percent of large bowel diarrhea cases.

Although it is more common in dogs as opposed to cats -- perhaps because dog spend more time amongst vegetation, or eating found meat (such as in refuse) -- most animals have antibodies that will effectively fight the bacteria and clear it from the body.

SYMPTOMS AND TYPES
Diarrhea with shiny mucus on its surface
Small amounts of fresh blood in diarrhea
Small, meager stools
May have large volume of watery stools
Straining to defecate
Increased frequency of defecation
Vomiting (on occasion)
Abdominal discomfort – characterized by standing with lowered front and raised back end, or curling up to cover abdomen, resistant to being touched in abdominal area
Abnormal amount of flatulence (i.e, passing gas)
Fever (uncommon)
CAUSES
Clostridial enterotoxicosis is caused by an overgrowth of the bacteria Clostridium perfringens in the intestine. Often, the bacteria is acquired from the environment (e.g., flora) or as the result of eating raw, undercooked, or old meat. Other risk factors include:

Dietary changes
Abnormally high pH level in the intestine
Deficiency of antibodies
Exposure to other dogs at a hospital or kennel
Stress to the digestive system due to concurrent disease (e.g., parvovirus, gastroenteritis, and inflammatory bowel disease)

PLEASE
let's be very careful and watchful

vincentjk:
Let's all be optimistic and hope she gets better soonest, when your dog is ill it seem as though you're both ill because you'll be so worried and rest of mind would depart from you totally

Could recall when Gustaf as a puppy had parvo, damn. I woke up in midnights to check up on him for 3days

Boss
After this morning treatment, I confirmed the disease,
It's called ENTEROTOXEMIA

Enterotoxemia in Dogs. Clostridium perfringens is a bacterium that is widely distributed in the soil and the gastrointestinal tract of animals. ... Type A is also associated with diarrhea in dogs. The diarrhea can be bloody, sudden and severe, or longterm and intermittent.

agboedeh:
so wat did the vet say is wrong with her? because this colour of poop is worrisome. Her diet looks okay so it might not be wat I was thinking. Although, fatty content are usually found in the skin of chickens so try not to feed her those parts a lot. Wishing her a quick recovery bro.

Is a about her digestive system
Yea.. Sometimes I even feed her more of chicken liver
Cos of that fat stuff you just mentioned

I'll give better update of the diagnosis after today's treatment

IamAnderson:
what did they say was wrong?

Boss wasn't even interested in the medical terms.
Was only after getting her well.
Anyway is all about her digestive system
I'll get the name of the disease when visit for today's treatment.

vincentjk:
Diagnosed with what? That's what you should've asked the vet to know your stands and the right medication to administer

She's being treated there at the clinic

At the vet today

Craps

agboedeh:
How was her diet like before this started? becos this can be due to high fat content in her meals. hope she isn't vomiting

Diamond kibbles mixed with milk
Chicken parts including liver
Pedigree can food.
Dry meat for dogs
Indomie with grinded fish and crayfish
Rice with grinded fish and crayfish

She stopped taking indomie and rice shortly before it started
Then when this developed

IamAnderson:
