Last Saturday Mr. Bruce woke up with the runs. After an expensive vet visit about 4 months ago we decided to let this one run its course. For five days Bruce was very lethargic.
We started to really like the new Bruce.
But each night the diarrhea would hit and he was awake about every two hours barking to go out.
That's when we gave in and took him to the vet.
Diagnosis: WHIPWORMS
He could have gotten this months ago by ingesting contaminated water or food that had whipworm eggs in it. Once the eggs hatch in the intestines, you see signs such as diarrhea, lethargy, etc. Luckily it can't be passed on to humans and he felt better immediately after starting the medicine.
He's back to his old self now...lucky us :)
