Perhaps I just need to vent, I don't know.
Maggie is my first dog, but I know they aren't all this difficult. Maggie herself is a wonderful little dog - but the health problems are unbelievable.
First she kept scratching and got a skin infection on her underside, so she was on antibiotics for two weeks. Then she was spayed and it looked red so she was on antibiotics for a week.
It was probably around then we had her tested and she had worms, so she got rid of those.
Then her feces were super soft, not to mention it was a heck of a time trying to keep her from eating them. I took her to the vet after I had switched foods and there was still runny stool with blood in it. It turns out she had some kind of bug that is super hard to kill. She was on antibiotic pills for two weeks and I tried very hard to clean up after her - and her stools were normal and it was great.
She went off those pills almost two weeks ago... now, runny again. Last night she pooped in her crate, which never happens - I didn't even hear her whining to go out - only noticed this a.m. I guess she ate it in her crate because she then proceeded to throw up A LOT of feces in three different places on my carpets.
I just don't know what to do - I try so hard to keep her happy and healthy and well trained, but I'm getting soooo frustrated!
Missjoy
