Vet Trips – Cocoa
Visiting the vet today was a shy young dog called Cocoa, who lives around the grounds of the popular temple, Wat Suan Dok.
Today we were asked to help this dog by the monks there, as he had been vomiting and the man who looks after Cocoa had said he had a high temperature too.
After a direct discussion between vet & a monk at the temple, it transpires that the man who looks after the dogs there, had given Cocoa paracetamol for 4 – 5 days to help with the high fever.
Blood was taken to test if there was any sign of damage to liver or kidney and thankfully a negative result there. The vet diagnosed an intestinal infection and administered an antibiotic and anti-vomiting injection and prescribed Nofloxacin and Cimetidine for 3 days to deal with the infection.
