My 8 month old Lab woke me in the middle of the night with a bad case of diarrhea. For any of you guys that have NOT experienced it I will spare you the details it wasn’t pretty site. My question is can anyone tell me what may have caused this sudden illness? I have not changed dog food and she never gets table scraps, the only time yesterday she was out of my site was during our daily trip to the WMA for a swim and some training. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Worms.

Sounds exactly what my pooch had at that age. He had awful diarrhea when we were down to the cities to visit relatives during the winter. Had to stop about six times on the way back to Fargo to let him out -- and it was about -20 with a 35-mph wind. Not fun.

Bring a fresh sample of his waste to a vet and they can run a test. Unless you've recently had him de-wormed, that would be my No. 1 guess.

Bad water at the WMA is a good guess. Warm water creates an explosion of all kinds of organisms and a good gulp of that can throw the gut off track. Some dry toast rice and boiled hamburger for a few days should turn it around...

Good Luck!

Everytime I take her swimming in the creek she seems to gulp down creek water so that could very well be the problem. Do you mix the toast, rice and burger with her regular food? Thanks for the help.

nope... No reg food. Skip a meal to help her insides settle down. Then a piece of toast, 1 cup of boiled brown rice and 1 cup of boiled hamburger mixed together. Do that for 2-3 days and she should be back to normal.

Good Luck!

My lab had the same thing at 8 months. It was actually some kind of bacteria that we got some powder to put on this dog food and it fixed him right up.

hope all goes well..

Thats the meds for Giardia, which is an intestinal parasite.

Normally it would take more than a day or two to get to the diarrhea stage with giardia, so hopefully Labs solution works for you. If it doesn't, you only need to bring in a stool sample for the vet to test.

Oh boy is she going to love you!

We call it 'medicine'... they call it heaven!

When I got Maggie I never thought she would be eating better than me. smile

Pup is feeling a lot better this morning her new gourmet diet must be helping.

Thanks everyone for the help.

My lab pup got it a couple times around that age...went 3 times in his kennel one afternoon - yuck! Never lasted more than 24 or 36 hours though and I never took him in. Probably just like humans, they get a bug and it runs its course rather quickly. I would guess at that young age their immune system is not fully developed either. Mine got a few weeks ago too even though he's 20 months now. If it lasts for very long it's probably cause for concern.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
