Avatar f tn Well, unfortunately, you can be contagious a few days to up to two weeks after a stomach bug. But usually it is 3 days. However, she may have had gastroenteritis, etc. which isn't contagious. I'd say you are in the clear but good hygiene to prevent illness is always a good idea.
1770029 tn?1325802355 Hi and sorry you are ill. There is no such thing as "stomach flu" meaning the influenza virus does not cause flu in the stomach. It is considered gastroenteritis. The symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, low grade fever up to 100 degrees and possible cramps are caused by many things, virus or bacterial. However, the most common cause is a virus called Norovirus. It is spead from person to person by fecal oral contamination.
Avatar f tn Just letting all of you know that Purina has come out with a powdered probiotic called Fortiflora that I have seen first hand help some dogs with bad cases of IBD. They make a feline version too but I haven't heard any feedback about that yet but I know of 2 dogs so far that were suffering with terrible bouts of gastroenteritis and colitis and they have been using this product and the diarrhea has stopped.
1974739 tn?1326022445 He may just have a bad case of gastroentertis, but his age would make me wonder if his symptoms are due to an age related disease, simple kidney and liver functions will better assess your dogs overall condition. If it is gastroenteritis, then typically antibiotics should help your dog feel better, in about 48 hours, give or take a day. You said he took a biscuit, but turned his nose up at the prescribed dog food. Try using his normal dog food, and see if he will eat it.

Avatar f tn My 2yr old bulldog was healthy & got really poorly 4 weeks ago been to the vets 4 times & then they kept her in for 3 days & treated her for gastroenteritis she went into shock & her heart collapsed & died all on her own. I wasn't there for & feel like she died thinking I didnt love her so she gave up.
Avatar m tn Scabies are highly contagious. I heard that dogs can get scabies too. So i was worried i gave my dog scabies. Since my dogs loves to sleep on my bed. But you said Human scabies can not be spread to dogs right? So i shouldn't worried about it.
Avatar n tn I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV. She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
Avatar n tn The correct term is "parvo", which is short for Canine Parvo Virus. Your dog is VERY contagious, so please don't allow him around any other dogs. He needs to see a vet immediately or he will likely die. Please, please take him. http://www.canineparvovirus.
Avatar m tn Is cellulitis cause by staph contagious? My uncle had it in form of a boil. We think he may have spread it cause another is forming. Is cellulitis contagious if there is a boil not just a rash? What if I sat where he did and placed my arm with a scab where he placed his boil arm? How so is it contagious? I read it's not because it is in the deeper skin layer but i mean...he had a boil that is at the upper layer. Could he have been misdiagnosed?
Avatar n tn s a burrowing mite that gets into the skin. Demodectic mange is a mite that is on all dogs, but some dogs are more succeptable to becoming a host, usually due to an immune system problem, high stress, or malnutrition. If either type of mange goes untreated, it can lead to severe skin infection. Both forms of mange are treatable, but the treatments are long. My dog is recovering from demodectic mange right now, and he will be on Ivomec for 30-40 days.
Avatar n tn Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
Avatar m tn We recently got a free puppy I am worried because she had dry poop hanging from her anal and as I was bathing her I saw she had her anal sticking it wasnt red just had a bump or something out I know it can be something cause by parasites I am worried because I had touched her dry stool before and thats why I decided to bathe her and I touched the steering wheel and she was in the car and inside the house on the bed pretty much everywhere. If she has.
Avatar f tn The insects live part of their lifecycles in the hair follicles and in the top layers of the skin in burrows. The most common kinds in dogs and cats are demodex and scabies. Scabies cause extreme itching and can be transmitted. Demodex mites are not contagious, usually. Both mites can be normal inhabitants of the skin in very low numbers. They don't cause problems unless they are in very high numbers.
Avatar n tn Hi, One of my boy's got parvo awhile after I adopted him from the pound, so not sure where he got it. He was a Dalmation, dumped at the pound like so many others that year after Disney came out w/ the first live action 101 Dalmation movie over the holiday season when people realized Dalmations aren't the cute little spotted furballs like in the movies......
Avatar f tn Friday I went to work, Sat me and the man both spent the day in stomach flu misery. It only lasted about 8 hours, but I have not been that sick in years. How about you? Has it hit your house yet? Please keep this in mind while out and about doing your seasonal shopping in large crowds. Yuck doesnt even describe it!
1337905 tn?1275843954 Puppy came to shelter where I volunteer. They don't provide any vet treatment just keep 5 days in condition it arrives and put up for adoption or put down. I could not stand to see this puppy sit for 5 days scratching holes in itself so I took him to the vet. Vet gave ivermectin shot and told me to dip him in paramite once a week. Then next week give him an advantage multi a day after his dip. The box says not to use it on puppies under 12 weeks, but the vet said to do it and I did.
Avatar n tn Gastroenteritis can be produced from viral,bacterial and parasitic infections, contaminated food or water or change in bacteria that normally live in the intestinal tract.Chest pain that you are having is due to radiation of pain. Take adequate fluids throughout the day. The BRAT diet (ie, bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) or soft easily digestible semisolid diet can also be taken.You also need a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin or metronidazole. Hope it helps.
Avatar n tn Gastroenteritis can be produced from viral,bacterial and parasitic infections, contaminated food or water, food poisoning, use of harsh laxatives, change in bacteria that normally live in the intestinal tract, chemical toxins in certain plants, seafood, or contaminated food, and heavy metal poisoning.

Avatar n tn Well certain viral infections can cause hemolyzed blood in urine. Check again in a day or two. If this persists then go back to your doctor. UTI and stone are the commonest cause. Cancers of urinary system or some drugs too cause blood in urine. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn The finding came as a surprise to all the scientists involved. Researchers at Pfizer were investigating virus outbreaks in dogs in shelters across the United States. They swabbed the noses of dogs sick with respiratory diseases and searched for viruses. In some cases they could not isolate a known virus, so they sent samples to the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University, where researchers specialize in finding new viruses.
