DAZZOR, I am glad there hasn't been any calls and hope that everything is good news. You keep referring to "Kennels" and I don't know if that is the name of the kennel you used or if you are just referring to the Kennels without actually naming them. I am interested to know what kennel you boarded your furbabies at and whether this is the same kennel you used when you lost your first westie.

I agree with you Sundae EAH has saved 3 of our Danes in the past and without them they would have died. I will never darken the doors of Pet Medical ever again.I will say they helped me in an emergency once but in a non-emergency visit I and my dog were treated very poorly, I would hope no other dog experiences what mine did.

It was not the same Kennels as the death of our first Westie. I believe they were negligent, however we were very angry with them. Never would we use them again. I have spoken to last weeks Kennels and they are aware of the situation. At the moment its guess work on our part so would rather not name them. Our Westie is doing better and for the Yorkie we are still concerned.
Hope to have an update in around an hour from hospital. Our third dog showing no signs of illness. We spent 4 hours today cleaning the mess at home. Bleach is our middle name!

Westie is home and very tired..has eaten and taken on water with no adverse reaction. Yorkie remains in care as not taking on water/food. Indications are HGE for both...still strange how JRT had nothing....I googled HGE and it fits what we witnessed. Nasty

I have no doubt our Yorkie would not be with us if we delayed our rush to the hospital by even 30 mins later.

I thank the assistance we had in finding this hospital.
People on FOL are great.

I can not come to an assumption it was picked up at the Kennels.

Picking up the Yorkie in the morning and will follow up with a visit to our vet.

It's scary to come that close to losing your pet. The EAH saved our pup with about that much time to spare as well when she bloated/ torsed. They saved the same dog again less than three years later when she got pancreatitis.

Those little dogs, like your Yorkie, can dehydrate so quickly. Sending good wishes for all of your dogs.

Our JRT has started with this now, our Westie had a good night sleep

Wow...sounds like quite the contagious illness. I bet your dogs were not the only ones affected.

Oh man thats awful!! Did the kennel give your dogs the same food that you feed your dogs? I know with one of my Yorkies and my Dane if they get something other than their regular food we have a hospital stay for all the bloody stools and vomiting. I do not board because I just can't take a chance of someone feeding them the wrong stuff, I have other reasons too but this is at the top of the list.

I hope all your babies get to feeling better ASAP.

We are going to draft a letter to the Kennels so it is at least official and they can review, respond and file. We always send our own food,does not mean to say that's what they got...the hospital advised it was the most likely place they picked up the illness

How's the Yorkie and JRT doing?
