ruby has had diarreah for a few days not vomiting except for once , and well in herself so i fed her a bland diet , made sure she was drinking lots and hoped it would resolve itself. she had a few too mant treats last weekend when my daughter was home and i assumed it was that. but last night she suddenly went very quiet, sat in her crate kind of hunched. very unlike her . then just before bed she passed ( on puppy pad as were snowed in !) a fairly large amount of bloody , jelly like substance:yikes .. she then went to sleep , seeming more comfortable . took her vet first thing and hes given her an anti biotic injection , and a painkilling one. he said its gastroenteritis. shes now alot brighter having slept all day .. ive just thought tho, the weekend before last , i opened and served her supper , of nature diet , which she had been having and liking a lot.. my daughter and hubby both remarked on the smell and said it was rank .. im veggie so all meat smells rank to me:yikes so i removed what she hadnt eaten , altho she wasnt too keen , and threw it out.. do you think this could have caused this bout of illness, 2 weeks after? ... she has been licking her lips a lot since she ate it...? or would it have been more severe soon after she ate it .. just wondering . im disappointed as nature diet seemed good .i rangthe store the day after, and he said its not an isolated incident and to bring it back andid get a refund ... no chance , it was frozen solid in deep snow by then .. wonder if they would refund the vets bill i got today
