Hi, as a local dog walker seeing and hearing of quite a few dogs coming down with the runs and vomiting, can any dog owners shed light if they have been to the vets? Will this pass quickly? Dogs energetic and eating so I have advised any I walk to keep up the fluids and go on booked rice and chicken. If any dogs are going to vomit on the rye please collect it than leave for others (if you can bag it please), or don't mix for a few days until illness over? Many thanks m
There is a virus going around, I read about it Initially on Facebook via my breeder over the weekend and on Sunday night/ Monday morning one of my dogs showed symptoms - vomiting, diarrhoea, general lethargy. I took her to the vet immediately and they confirmed there is a known virus doing the rounds not just on the Rye but in the general south east area. She is on a course of antibiotics and is slowly getting back to normal.

Antibiotics only treat bacterial ailments. You said it?s a virus

Yes - my dog had this between Xmas and new year. It was very swift - lethargy with vomiting and diarrhoea (with quite a lot of blood in poo) taken to emergency vets who admitted him and put on a drip. It took him a week to get back to normal, with several follow ups. They had no idea what it was (I was thinking poisoning but there was nothing showing)

Was on antibiotics plus other gut supportive medicines.


Right as rain now but pretty scary.

Thanks for your comments. The dogs I know who are ill are still energetic and eating so sorry to hear Tiddles about your dog having a bad case of whatever it is. A friend shared this newsfeed: https://vethelpdirect.com/vetblog/2020/02/03/new-vomiting-bug-hitting-uk-dogs/

Stopping opportunistic infection whilst they are ill I suppose - as you say will not stop the underlying virus.

    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
