flashbax Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Good morning all. Since yesterday Siber has been sick now 3 times and has not touched any food. He is drinking water but really is'nt him self at all. He has a bad habbit of eating things on the floor all the time, He is on a extending lead so I cant watch everything he sniffs at. He is on pureena beta prebiotic for large puppys. Going to ring the vet if he carrys on being ill today. I hope he has just eaten something thats upset his stomach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 So sorry your pup is feeling ill, my 3 month old pup is the same and "tries" to eat everything in sight, seeing as he has been sick 3 times already, maybe have a word with the vet, you didnt say how old your pup was, but pups can get dehydrated very quicky even if drinking water, some vets will also give a "anti sickness" shot to settle their tummys, i would call the vet, just to be on the safe side Oops, just re-read and saw that you mentioned the vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeshsalts Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 When you are walking Siber you need to look around as you walk and looking for things they might pick up, and pull them away before they pick it up. You need to make sure they don't pick up rubbish and if they do pull it out of their mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, with Ko he has 99% got the "leave" command, i use this command all the time with him when were over the fields, the 1% he dosent leave, i just put my hand in his mouth and take out what ever he has in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbax Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 He is around 5mths old now. He is asleep on me now and seems ok. But its making me feel bad not knowing if its something thats going to get worse or just pass by. I'm gonna call the vet now see if I can get him in..

flashbax Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 He just yawned and my god his breath is very very bad, more so than normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 He just yawned and my god his breath is very very bad, more so than normal Bad breath is usually a sign of bad teeth etc, can you look inside his mouth and see if you can see anything, and look down his throat too, he might be beeing sick if something is stuck down there, has he been coughing at all, like he is trying to bring something up?

Val (Zebedee) Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Noel the best thing you can do is starve Siber for 24 hrs, do not try him with anything, not even a treat. Just make sure he has plenty of water. What you find, as huskies can have sensitive tums, if they eat anything that doesn't agree with their system, they react like Siber is. It is likely he's eaten something nasty. If he is drinking & acting "normal" in every other way, I would stay off food for 24 hrs & try him with some bland food (cooked chicken meat, boiled rice) after that. Obviously if he is majorly different to normal, seek medical advice for him. Hope he's back to normal soon, x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbax Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 No he aint been coughing he just went very quite and seemed to want to stay on his bed and sleep a lot more. And when he did eat it would just come back up about half hour later. He asleep on the sofa now. He dont seem to be in any pain just very quite and sleepy.

Andy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I've just posted this on Storm-Boi's thread but it might apply here too. Have you checked the plants in your garden. Quite a few common one which we take for granted are toxic to dogs. Have a look at the list see if there is anything he might have had a curious nibble on. http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7829-hazardous-plants/page__p__103495__hl__plants__fromsearch__1#entry103495 Google images if you're not sure what they look like. Hope he gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Seeing that he is more sleepy then normal, i would deff call the vet or have him checked over, Ko had sickness the other week but still acted normal, playing, running about etc. Phone the vet and see what they have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
