Well, today is sniper's surgery. we cut off food and water last night at 7pm. Yesterday afternoon around 3pm she started having liquid diahrea! dont know why but had it all night and still this am.....she had an accident in her box about 12pm last night. i was up with her every 1-2 hours letting her outside to poop! I guess maybe she was nervous as I am. who knows then @ 5am up came a pair of my underwear!!! OMG!!! she has been good fro weeks and not eat any socks and up comes underwear! where does she find these things? I dropped her off at our vet @ 745 this AM and am nervous! hoping she will be ok while surgery is going on with the diarhea thing. Poor thing! will take pics of the cone of shame once i pick her up this evening. i have to go get her a new bed though since she has devoured hers during the day in her crate when she gets bored. i know she will be lazy the next few days but my hubby will be home with her for the next 2 days......

aww bless her hope it all goes well (though im sure it will) let us know how she is when you get her back tonight

ok so NO surgery! b/c she has an upset tummy.....gotta wait now...geez they could have told me that this morning when i dropped her off and said hey she has been up all night with an upset tummy! come on people! sometimes i think vets are idiots! so they are keeping her today to test her poop and since i cant be home with her all day to take her out every few hours to poop i will pick her up at 3...so will try to schedule again in a few weeks

Heather will take good care of her dont worry

awww bless her well i hope her stomach settles quickly hun

Hailey just got hers done on Monday... no cone of shame though- she's doing great. Just gagging a lot and got sick a bunch yesterday (I think the 30 minute ride home after still being a bit nauseated from the anesthesia did it).

Sorry Sniper is sick! I hope she feels better soon and you can get it over with!

Brandon - yea i know she will but it pisses me off that they new she was sick all night and still said lets go with it. But I'm glad I can leave her all day @ no charge so they can watch her and take her out every 1-2 hours for the poop!
Koda - Thanks! maybe she wont have to have a cone of shame :-) they are giving her some meds and bland food for the upset tummy. who knows what her tummy is upset for. She has been the most troublesome dog i've ever had! BUT she is worth it :-) i'll let you guys know tonight what they say about her poop today

Don't worry.. When they get close to 2 yrs they start to do allot better..It won't last forever. At least that's my experience.. Just be very careful what she gets into. Our other Husky ( Jax) was 2 in December and was doing so much better. He was able to rome the whole house while we were gone for hours and didn't mess with anything. His weakness was the bathroom trash cans and he ate a whole empty tube of toothpaste which ended up taking him to doggy heaven.. After everything he ate for 2 yrs never hurt him he met his match!!

Im sure Sniper will get better soon, sierra got sick over the weekend with
diahrea in her crate 3 times and once over night and as of yesterday she is now fine, maybe something is just going around?

thanks you guys! and christine yea i read that story when you posted it! horrible! we keep all doors shut at all times! the only door allowed open is my daughters and its is "dog" proof now...we learned that earlier on in the game. so....im hopin its just a bug but since they already had her there this mornin they went ahead and done her pre-surgery blood work and will check out the diahrea and maybe get it fixed....poor baby! but thanks again!

Yeah, it takes two years to stop the maddening destructiveness. Then the third year is when the brain catches up and they get REAL smart.

Update:
They kept sniper all day at the vet that day since i couldnt be home with her while she was pooping every 1-2 hours....they sent her home with ID canned foor thats bland for her tummy....and some meds for her poo i guess. she had her first solid poo yesterday and it wasnt too solid...so she is getting better...im worried about tomorrow tho since we are both workin and my dog sitter will be comin by twice....hope she does ok....will let u know later

Canned pumpkin works great for regulating a dog's digestive system. It's perfectly healthy for them and very cheap at the grocery store. If you want to try adding that to the canned food they gave you (or if you don't have anymore and want to add the pumpkin to the regular food) that would help, I'm sure of it.

Poor Sniper! Good luck

thanks koda! i will get some this weekend when i get groceries! never would have though of that. :-) she's on a cheap puppy food what the breeder had her on and i didnt wanna switch her so im still using the crappy food until time to switch her to adult doggy food....ve really enjoyed being on this forum and the good advice you guys share :-)

No problem Hope it helps

ok....so snipers poo had gotten almost back to normal until this am....i fed her regular food last night with her canned food...and it went back to diahrea this am....maybe the cheap puppy food is finally getting to her. I guess now would be the time to switch her to a good puppy food! gonna send hubby to walmart to get canned pumpkin per koda and mix w/ her food first and see how that goes for a day or so then if it doesnt get better call the docs back or just switch her food over completely....grr! this stinks!

Should of done what I did Fire, figured since they allready had the runs , might as well swith their foods, and it worked. That along with some pumpkin as koda suggested , and within 2 days they were more or less solid ( not 100%) but solid enough that it was formed instead of a goo pile on the snow.

We were on a 4-5 star food (solid gold) but it just didn't seem to settle with them, so we went to Blue (still a premium brand..I think its a 4star), And they have been better since, except for when they get into something they shouldn't ..did I tell everyone about the SOS pad issue..like they even tasted good (YUCK!) that led to a 2 day bout of the runs, wasn't going to give them pumkin then mainly because I wanted them to pass the soap from their system..I dont think they actually ait the pads they were more or less having fun pulling them apart. At least they dont have any other issues related to it, I was watching for blood in their stools figuring if they did swallow any of them the abrasiveness would irrtate their GI track.

oh my! we are gonna try a new food i think :-) i have a small bag of the eukenuba for puppies and see what that does along with the pumpkin cuz like you said she already has liquid poo! not like it will hurt for a few more days! LOL

ok i will....i know she has shed some pounds since all of this started last tuesday! so i hate seeing her lookin so skinny! but iknow once she starts eating again she will fatten back up :-)
