took my dog to the vet's with what we thought was a sickness bug (also diorrhea) he too had been itching/licking around his tail..the vet emptied the anal glands and gave him some antibiotics. A week later and having eaten beef (cooked) he still had diorrhea...so we took him back, another vet gave him some more antibiotics, inc penicillin and a steroid jab - this turned his #2's to black tar..after 2 days on the penicillin he stopped eating. So last Saturday we went back - told to carry on with penicillin and he had another job (so far its cost £90) we read that penicillin should not be given on an empty stomach so by Monday we stopped the tablets...he is still not eating on his own volition, he his definately lethargic, and he seems to have joint problems, which I have read could be a reaction to the antibiotics...The vet wanted to x ray him, blood tests, £200 worth, not convinced...he's just heard a dog bark and run round the house like a pup - any idea's - thanks - worried JR owner
