Kst, the past few days I've watched all of season three of House. He is a super diagnostition if you don't know...anyway my mind is going several directions at once trying to guess what is going wrong with your dogs.

One of House's mysteries was that a pipe ran from one house to another unbeknownst to the owners. In one house the owners left while the place was being fumigated, which leaked into the house next door and made the woman sick and killed her cat. But it took almost the whole hour to solve the problem of what was going on. Let's just say that program can bring out the paranoia in the best of us.

Prayers for your pups to recover quickly.

Ophiliasgrandma, ok, this has me laughing! Seriously hoping this isn't the problem! All of the neighbors here have been spraying for spiders and scorpions over the last couple of weeks, but the compounds aren't suppose to affect animals. They've never been bothered before and we spray all along the outside of the house and over the entire yard.

It was a long night, last night. Mags peed in the kitchen around 10. I do not remember the last time she peed in the house! I was trying to be so careful letting her out everytime she asked. There still isn't any blood in her urine. She's still squatting at every blade of grass out there. She woofed four times, to go out, during the night. Not like her at all. But, she doesn't seem to have any other issues going on. I am stumped!

I'm still waiting for the vet to call. Keep those positive thoughts coming. Cami seems back to normal, although, she does follow Mags all over the backyard.

From what I've learned from you about how different Sussux spaniels are, they could have built up an intolerance for pesticides and have reached their breaking point.

I'm hoping this isn't the case. It's been about four weeks since we sprayed. We absolutely can't live in this area without pesticides. I am not fond of having black widows and scorpions as permanent guesties! You are right, Sussex are a breed unto themselves! <scream>

KS, hope your doggies get better and its nothing serious.

OG, I was totally chanelling House when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Whitney. Of course, since I'm NOT a brilliant diagnostician I never did figure anything out.

I bought Halloween costumes for Whit today! I was at Kohl's, they were half-priced. I was just not strong enough to resist. Sometime soon, I'll be dressing her up and taking some pics and I'll be sure to post some here for you all to see. I may even attempt to get Naiya to at least wear one of the hats. It'll be too big, but could still be really cute!

Kstme, Hope the pups are feeling much better. Please let us know what's going on with them. When will TheKid be home?

I'm SPEECHLESS! Cami has EColi! She's on antibiotics for the next two weeks and then will have her urine retested. It is NOT contagious to Mags...Mags is just being weird! I'm so stunned, I never knew dogs could get EColi.

Ya' think, Juju?

Geez, I'm still trying to decipher this. My dogs do NOT eat raw meat and drink only bottled water. They eat a limited ingredient dog food and have been on it for over three years. I'll keep my fingers cross that nothing ELSE shows up in the tests. More results should be in by Thursday.

As far as Maggie acting as she is. A Sussex thing and I should have picked up on it right away. Survival of the fittest, except Mags isn't 'going' after her. She's trying to get rid of the infection. Cams would have been at Maggie's throat, but Maggie is not aggressive and is dealing with this differently.

I am so done! <screaming very loudly> <thinking...toddy for my body wouldn't be a bad idea!>

Since its in fecal matter, did you have a cow stroll through your back yard...have the pups on a farm. Think!

They can pick up eColi from the ground.. I'd guess that bird droppings would carry it.

I had an adorable labrador puppy and she got ecoli and she must have been very susceptible but anyway she ended up having chronic uterine infections and after seeing specialists we had to decide she wasn't going to be breedable, this decision probably came faster because we co-owned her with her breeder. She was traded to a vet in Portola Valley, near Palo Alto, CA, and in trade the vet spayed her, spayed another lab and neutered a male. Tripper lived out her life with the vet and was now and then used as a blood donor dog.

She was considered highly susceptible; we had other lab females in all the same areas and never another problem like that.

Sea, thanks! I knew you must have had some kind of dealing with this, if anyone out there had.

The vet said if the hairs from her anal area touch her bottom, into her pee area, or a minute amount of fecal matter gets in the area, the bacteria can be transmitted that way also. She thinks this is what happened. If Cami has a reoccurrence after the meds, then the vet will take a look at her immune system. So, it would seem, as with your lab, Cami is susceptible.

Thanks for the info!!

Op...no cowpies here that I know of! :-)
