We brought home our Dominican puppy. She was fine the first day and very playful. We tooks bits of sandwich ham and took turns calling her by her name. She learned very quickly what her name was.
Day 2: We took her to the beach where she threw up. She threw up all the way home. I thought it was the heat. Then she got severe diarrhea
Day 3: The vet gave us some meds, which we gave to her and I gave her some boiled chicken with rice. She seemed to be getting better. Mr. Mainer got some ham and tried working with her again on coming when she was called. She got severly ill again that night.
Day 4: Today. She was very lethargic, and couldnt even keep down water. Mr. M took her to the vet. The first thing that he asked was if we had given her any pork products. He said that even a small amount of ham or pork products can kill a small dog down here. I have no idea why or how this is true, but it made me a believer.
PS She is at the vets for a few days, and he says she is "looking okay". He won't let us bring her home for a few more days. There are other things that it could be, but they are not likely.
