Diarrhea:

Symptomatic Diarrhea & Vomiting care:

Suspend feeding until this time tomorrow.
We are giving medicine for nausea vomiting and diarrhea
Start oral medications tomorrow morning:
Give Loperamide for diarrhea if observed.
Give Metoclopramide for vomiting if observed.
Try not to use both of the above medications within 8 hours of each other.
Metronidazole is being given for a germ your pet might have picked up.
Endosorb is given to coat / tighten up the bowel.
When you feed tomorrow, start Hill's I/D until stools are firm . If your pet doesn't eat, yay.
MUST DRINK.

You may have to crush the pills in a Ziploc with a hammer. Mix with some honey, gravy, syrup, or even water and syringe with a bulb syringe into the corner of the mouth.

Have you seen these? These can track your pet (or kid) in real time and unless they get the thing off their collar, you can find your pet.

Something else I found for my dog "Ajax" that's cool:

Sporn Dog Halter STOPS "pulling and tugging" NOW. (Link)

This is what I use now, with my dog Ajax. I used to use the Gentle Leader, but I didn't like including his face in the thing. Now, this just goes around his chest and he DOES NOT PULL ANY MORE. It's great! Amazon.com has it.

You can buy a fat bundle of 'wet wipes' with Cetaphil and I'd recommend it. They're great for cleaning healing wounds, dirty ears, cleansing around some eyes, under-tails, surgery sites, sores.
