stomach upset

[BenBhoy 4,706]

hey there guys. since i know there are so many experienced terriermen here just wanted some advice. my old jack russell has, for the past 3 nights been up about 5 times needing to go out and then having the sh 1 t's!! sometimes crouching down to go but little coming out and just walking around like that for bit. so i was wondering if anyone could tell me what it might be & how to get rid of it? he's 13 years old and has been a hard working warrior and a loyal companion so i want him to get back to his best ASAP. thanks for any help!

I wouls starve him 24 hours the give him light , bland ,food, boiled chicken something like that , make sure he has water , if hes stooping like he needs to go and nothing comes out dont worry , dont forget its like that for us all when we get the trots sometimes .

Definitely VETS mate,he is 91 yrs old in dog yrs.He will get severely dehydrated and you may even lose him if your not careful.The vet will give him an injection to help ease the stomach,and,he will need to give him a good look over too.................................get down there first thing.................martin.

TRY HIM ON LIVE YOGURT THAT SHOULD SORT HIM OUT IF NOT VETS ASAP

thanks for all the tips guys. glad to say that he's back to full health now, was sluggish for another day or so, i made sure he kept drinking plenty, didnt feed for a day and half then offered some dry biscuits with little gravy and he kept that down. back to his usual self now. toughest little git i ever met!! cheerz.
