Little Jasper, my Saint Bernard, is sick. The poor little guy has had diarrhea all day. I don't know if he got into something or just caught a bug, but boy, what ever it is has a hold on his digestive system. I would be totally freaking out because of the profuse diarrhea (I'm talking profuse, like a scene from the exorcist, just from the opposite end), if not for the fact that he's been drinking plenty of water, he still has a good appetite, and I keep checking his mucus membranes and they are nice and moist. And he's playing like normal. But, even with his acting fine, I still am watching him like a hawk, and if he still has it tomorrow, he will be taking a trip to the doggy ER. I did give him a dose of pepto (after calling the vet at the ER and getting the approval), so I hope that will help his symptoms while he fights off whatever got him. I'll keep you all posted on his progress.

My mother has had problems in the past with her dog and with the vets permission gave him Immodium it worked great. I had to change dog foods for one of mine ever though she had been great and hadn't had a problem with the food she was on previous. I can also say since I changed them all I can sleep better at night without all the gas they had!
