Kopi-O has joined this household for nearly 2 weeks. He has brought nothing but joy to us…
A few days after he arrived, on Friday 18th Mar, I remember, he didn’t eat and had no mood to play. That was about 6am. When I went to see him again at 9am, he vomitted and had diarrhoea. Blood came out of his poo! We were petrified and immediately sent him to the nearest animal clinic we knew. He was so week, he had to be hospitalised.
We brought him home that night. Weak as he was, he still wagged his tail when brought home.. I supposed that he licked something off the toilet floor and contracted some flagellated bacteria inside his body which gave him the vomit. I mass cleaned the house and made sure that we puppy-proofed our stuffs…
To keep him safe, we bought him a pen. part of his right leg had to be shaven in order to put him on drip during hospitalisation. Poor Kopi-O
He looked so sad that day… (He had 2 injections)

He recovered fast! Within 2 days, he was up and running
We had to leave him for some time on Sunday to attend my BIL’s wedding, but he was very well behaved.
For a few days he started to have normal stools.. but had a bad habit – he ate and licked his own stools. That caused him to have diarrhoea again! So we had to bring him to the vet for injection again…. And more antibiotics for him…
To add to that, he was scratching so much that it was painful to watch.. According to the vet, he has yeast infection, aka, dog dandruff. So we bought him an E-collar so that he won’t go and lick the affected areas. He hated the collar – he would try every opportunity to get rid of it!!
Even this morning, there were still traces of blood in his stools and they are not semi-solid, more of a liquid. I have to continue feeding him charcoal until he has semi-solid stools. But how to prevent him from eating his own poo? We poured vinegar on his poo and this seemed to put him off, but I’m not sure whether this is a long term solution…
Other that those aforementioned minor mishaps, Kopi O is a very happy dog
He loves to chase. I noticed also that he sleeps differently from the other dogs I’ve seen. His hind legs are spread out when he’s relaxed and sleeping.
