my brother in laws 7 month old pitt bull has been sick for the last week and just passed away. we received a letter yesterday from our landlord that we have ecoli in our water supply and not to drink it or even brush our teeth with it . could any give me any advice or information about ecoli and dogs ?

I have been having problems with my girls getting pregnant, maintaining pregnancies and losing pups shortly after birth. I thought it was a herpes infection, so I took them in for a ton of blood test, vaginal swabs, puppy necropsy. Finally I got the results back and it was a strain of E-coli infection was the only thing found. Now I have all my dogs on clavamox for 2 weeks($$Ouch) and will re-test.

My 13yr old Pit was just Diagnosed with E coli. The Vet had her on that Clavamox for a unrinary track infection just before being diagnose and drop 9lbs in one month. She was peeing alot, soft sool or diaherrea, vomiting and weight lost. I got scared when she dropped so much weight took her back. tested her and found out different Dogs have different side affects. My vet's dog even dropped alot of weight on it. They have to give her other anitbotics to treat for E coli now. Becareful and watch your puppies..
