Sure hope ya'll can get to the bottom of it!

I'd be looking at giardia and crypto regardless.

Sorry the puppies are sick.
They sure are cute.

sorry to hear that they are sick that you can figure out what is making them sick & they get better soon.

Unless one of the other LGDs brought it into the puppies there is not a source of contamination. I will be taking a fecal to my normal vet today but those two bugs don't always show so not going to be a definitive answer either way. IMO they aren't sick enough for Parvo, no respiratory so not distemper, stools don't look like Parvo or cocci stools, fever is very low, 103.2. They drink water and show interest in food which is weird for a sick puppy. I know that they are sick but not SICK. Does that make sense? I haven't seen them with any body parts of rodents and my LGDs don't typically eat them, but that doesn't mean pups won't. But it is either contagious or more than one puppy has been exposed. Frustrating to say the least.

like I don't have anything else to do today...

No Eucalyptus near me.

I’m praying for your babies Babs!! Man I wish you were closer. We could do the dairy thing together since I need to benefit DD2 and you’d have a built-in helper. I’d also need a couple of those pups!

 

[babsbag]

@Wehner Homestead I would take you up on the offer in a second; help would be wonderful.

Any news with pups? Really strange as they "look" good but clearly something is wrong.
