Renee,

Thanks a ton for checking into this. I know you are a dog lover, but it's really appreciated that you are helping us with our babies. They obviously mean the world to us, and seeing them in this condition is really hard. At least they seem to be on the uphill.

As far as what caused this, we may never know for sure. There will be a few things that we will be keeping a better eye on, etc. Like Kim said, the vet and us feel that it was probably the water in the kiddy pool. Jen's son also played in the pool one day with the pups, and that nite had some vomiting and diarrhea. The dogs were not really showing any symptoms at that point, so we really did not put 2 and 2 together. I am pretty sure it was the water, but we were also thinking about a couple other possibilities. The dogs have gotten into the outside trash bags recently. I am sure if they had some old food, it could lead to the symptoms they are having. Also, a couple weeks ago, we had a small bowl of chocolate Hershey kisses. It had fallen onto the floor while the dogs were in the room, and we were not. When they were found, they both had one in their mouth. Who knows how many they may have had. Maybe one, maybe several. We all know how bad chocolate is for them.

Bottom line is that we will be making sure there is not anything around that can cause them harm. Whatever it was, they both got the same sickness form it. That is why I am leaning towards the pool water. Anyway, thanks again Renee.
