I have been reading alot of posts about Cavaliers with tummy upsets and fevers diagnosed as gastroenteritis. Thankfully, we have never experienced a doggy tummy illness here, (even with my other dogs in the past, labs and an aussie shepherd.)
I just have a question for those of you who have been through this. Is gastro in a dog a viral or bacterial infection, and how do they get it? Is it a contagious illness, where you have to isolate your dogs from others until they are treated? Or, is it just a bad bout of diarrhea that comes from a food sensitivity or an environmental issue.
