Hi folks, we are currently in the Aurvergne in France travelling around in the Moho. Dylan's has just been sick and had very squittery diarrhoea this morning. He was loose yesterday afternoon, and ate only a little of his dinner. This seems like what happened last year when we were in the far north of Scotland and he had the same. I starved him for 24 hours and then fed chicken and rice, but the symptoms recurred, so I did the same again, after phoning the insurers helpline for,advice. Again the symptoms recurred, and we chasing a vet because they are few and far between up there and cover different towns. When we finally got to a vet in Gairloch he couldn’t see us as he was fully booked, but gave a tube of Canacur to put on his food to restore his gut bacteria, which did the trick.
He has been having his normal food at the same time of day, although for the whole trip he has been eating less than normal. He is fine in himself.
I am going to starve him today and get some chicken and rice for the next couple of days. I am quite concerned that last year’s episode is repeating itself. I have a tube of canacur with me, but I think it is too early to give him that yet. It is quite remote here so finding a vet may be tricky. My French isn’t that good either!
His pooh is yellow and has some mucus. Any advice appreciated. We are on mobile mifi so I will look in when I can.
Lesley and Dylan
