Hi Jonas....I hope the poor baby is doing better. I would also recommend Pedialite ....Gatorade has too much sugar...
I also wanted to recommend that you disinfect yourself.... Change your clothes, bleach your shoes..get a cheap throw rug or carpet remnant, and put lots of bleach on it. Every time you or others in the household go in or out, *especially when you come back in* stand on the bleach soaked rug to clean the bottom (germs can travel there too, ya know) and leave the shoes by the door. That way you don't track it thru the house. Lots of hand sanitizer..every time you touch the dog,(or have been out in public) before you do something else, wash those hands. Also, poor Dookie's system will be weak, so you don't want to bring in anything he can't handle.
My advice would be to just throw away all bedding, toys, food bowls, etc...after this is over...better to be safe than sorry...

I think you're just amazing for what you're doing for your dog. Many people wouldn't - you are a rare one, and deserve admiration and respect. Your dog is very, very lucky to have you. What a wonderful parent you are.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dookie - hope he pulls through, brave little guy

Thanks guys. Just finished giving him his IV. He urined and it came out a bit dark, thus giving him his IV a bit early. Giving him small amounts of liquid diet and more of home made chicken broth (my aunts a nurse in mexico and she recommended it, she's even used it on many or her dogs) and it has been working. He' almost there. Can't be too careless though.

Oh it is sounding real good. Each day is a sign he may come through. I feel so bad for him it is an awful illness but as I say I have brought many through it.
Clean every thing as you go. Do not let any dogs near him. Sounds as if this little darling really has the will and you do to. Good luck and you have all my best wishes.
