Granny's gone and done it again

Did she get too hot at the swap or what do you think is going on?

I think she has listeriosis. Often found in the soil. Hard to cure, but i started her on an antibiotic that is supposed to be effective against it. Giving her fluids by bottle regularly, and vitamins, electrolytes. If i had IV fluids, i would give her those too. If i took her to the vet, i am sure the bill would exceed what i could ever get for her. And no guarantee on the outcome.

Because they are between a rock and a hard place. Shelters full. Dog food stupid expensive. Everything going up stupid fast. I don't condone it, but i understand that people are getting desperate.

A lot of 5hem drive them out to country and drop them off. Like they can kill their own food.

Be safe.

Hot out here too. Ugh.

…are period poops a thing for dogs too? Trying to figure out if she’s so full of poop cause of the food or cause of the heat.

What are period poops?

There was a recall on cantaloupe from CO a few years back for Listeria. I suspected it was from the soil. I wonder why it all of a sudden turned up?

Possibly something in the fertilizer?

It's cooling off tomorrow. Only 98° instead of a 100°.

Possibly something in the fertilizer?

It would have to had manure used and not mineral out of the bags I would think. The process that minerals go through would surely kill anything during the acid treatments.
