Lillie has had diareah this evening so bad that it has started to look like mucas. It's clear and comes out like water. It started to look yellow and then after about 5 times of going every 5 min it turned clear. She has not went now for about 25 minutes.
She had a rabies and leptospirosis shot on the 1st of this month, do you think she could be having a effect from that? She is acting fine, very playful and entergetic, has been eating and drinking normal. I have not given her anything to cause diareah Please need your input.

I would be concerned about dehydration. Make sure she keeps drinking. I think you are supposed to give them rice for dirreha.

yougetthesmiles · 08-05-2006, 04:55 PM

she is so small it worries me, I will make sure to push the water.

I would call on eof those er vets and see if they think she should be seen. These little ones can get dehydrated so quick. Definately give her nutricak and fluids. I hoep she is better soon. Has she been under stress lately that can cause an irritable bowel sometimes and that is usually mucousy diahrrea. Keep us posted.

nope she has not been under stress, I dont have any nutrical, but I do have karo syrup, I just gave her a drink of water so I will offer her water every 20 min or so. So far I have not seen anymore diareah and I have her in her expen to monitor her.

Forfot to say that her stools has been real soft since she had her shots, and about 2 days before her shots she had lose stools, I did inform the vet of it. She is scheduled to go back in 3 weeks, but she may be going back sooner. I just dont have any clue, I took her on a walk this evening, thats when she had the diareah, she went like 8 times.

Check her gums (I learned about this working for the vet). If they are white or very pale - call the vet. Rosey gums - could be multiple of things: gas, stomach acid, worms, food, ate something other than food, etc...
I hope she feels better soon.

Nutra-cal is a good thing to use until you know what it is.
P.S. Is she eatting grass = upset stomach.

I just checked her gums and they look normal, pinkish color. I gave her a couple small drops of kayro and gave her another drink, she didnt seem to want the water. nore more signs of diareah and when i went to the pen she came to me with energy.

Here is a link that I found on Lepto shots, I do not give Lepto to any of my Adult Yorkies or puppies. I would call your Vet and get more info on this, and your should never give two shots in one like the Rabies and the Leptos always do this on 3 to 5 days apart of each other.

Most vets do not give lepto any longer..it is the one vaccine that causes the most reactions in toys dogs..I would give her chicken and rice until her stools are normal..you can use OTC diaherra meds..check the labels..best wishes

yougetthesmiles · 08-05-2006, 06:57 PM

she has not had anymore diareah this evening and she has been active, her nose is wet. She is now sleeping. I will monitor her throughout the night and see how she is in the am.

Connie · 08-05-2006, 07:24 PM

Maybe you should try feeding her some chicken and rice. I sure hope your little darling is on the mend!!! Let us know how she's doing!

baby03 · 08-05-2006, 08:57 PM

I had no clue she was not suppose to have a Lepto shot, looking at her shot record it says she had one at 12 weeks as well, I will have to contact Jill and ask her how she reacted to it then. Right now she is sleeping.

Maybe in your area they have to have it?? If she has had it before then maybe that is why. I am glad that she is sleeping well. How old is Lillie??
