Having read the v sad case of diahorea & sickness in puppies there seems to be a problem of diahorea and inappetite in adult dogs. 2 of my 4 have had it and it lasts for about 14 days, the dogs being OK for a day or two and then going backwards for a few days. I have heard of other people's dogs who have had the same trouble even my sister who's dogs never leave her property, have been affected. It would seem this is air born and I'm wondering if it is nationwide (UK) and is it new or has the same thing occoured before? Is it the same thing that is affecting new litters? Do vets report this sort of thing to one another, always supposing they know about it as I did not use the vet on my sick dogs because until it is over you don't realise it is different and you treat just like any other bout of diahrea.

I know of a virus that was going around here over the last month or so. (Oxfordshire) I know of a couple of people that have had poorly dogs. Luckily they all seem to have got over the worst.
