Eye injury

Posted by admin on February 5, 2014 Comments Off on Eye injury

They had a bad fight again for nothing.

Aramis ended up with a bad deep scratch on his left eye.

We went to the vet and he prescribed  an eye drop to make his pupil back to normal as it was stuck  and not dilating anymore; and an ointment.I put 1 drop per day for 2 days and it  dilated. I put ointment every 6 hours .

We went to recheck at the vet twice. His eye is almost back to normal in the sense that he still has some white part on his eye. The vet told me that it will take some time to cure by itself as blood vessels slowly came back.

I bought a very soft head cone for any injury. This one is much better that the plastic ones that the vet sells. This is the comfy cone by all four paws.

Stomach issues

Posted by admin on December 20, 2013 Comments Off on Stomach issues

D’Artagnan pooped and vomited 5 times today, first time at 5am . Vomit was very light pink .

It went on and off all day , diarhea and foamy vomit.

His poop was darker than usual at the end.

We went to see the vet, poo is within the normal color range; stomach is soft and not tensed.

Got a shot for nausea and purina veterinary diets EN Gastroenteric canine formula canned food to regulate stomach.

At the end he didn’t need to eat this special food. I could stop feeding him for 24h and then feed half of his regular size meal, crushed to make it easier to disgest.
Overall his stomach is weak and this isn’t the first time it happens

Coprophagia / eating feces

Our vet recommended Coproban for Aramis as he used to eat his own poop and my other peke’s too. It works great at home. However he used to eat other dogs’ poop while I was walking him outside. My attention is 100% on him, as I always bring treats as a reward his attention is always on me. I give tiny pieces of treat to keep him focus; I give big one when he does his business.

CoproBan – 20 count $10.99
