Diarrhoea

[Selina27]

Sorry Red is having diarrhea , I don't have any advice, but hope the situation resolves soon.

I've used them they can be useful to have around. Used them a few times with Rory. I've also used the normal yudigest

I hope Red is better today

She cried out at 2.45 this morning - let her out - more diarrhoea. I will be ringing vets as soon as they open.

Poor pup, it's no fun having a funky bottom.

 

[Selina27]

[SwampDonkey]

Poor Red, I hope the vet has answers. Sometimes it's better to know that they have a bug, at least that can be treated.

 

[Atemas]

Been to the vets. No real answers. Vet asked if she scavenged and we both said ‘she’s a labrador’ at the same time ?. Well checked over and everything fine as I was confident would be. She has been given Metrohidazole for 5 days. Just looked it up and side effects include diarrhoea!! To keep her on diet of either Hills i/d or rice and turkey plus continue the Pro Kolin. If things don’t improve, then stool samples and possibly Panacur. Fingers crossed this will right itself. All Red’s digestive problems last year have taught me not to immediately rush off to the vets - I think we get to know our animals but I am glad I went.

This is the new vets I registered with a while ago. They were very good and the vet was lovely with Red. Red was great. I took no treats because of the diarrhoea. The vet said she doesn’t believe in starvation unless they have been vomiting.

 

[Atemas]

Oh and I meant to say, how lovely this forum is - our dogs can be such a worry (as well as such a joy) - it’s so helpful and reassuring when you kind people post - thank you ?.

Fingers crossed , that medication is good , Sam had it a couple of times when he had scavenged . My old Vet believed in starvation , one of the rare things we disagreed on , whereas the newer ones are saying not to starve unless they are sick , let the nasties escape !

 

[Atemas]

I also meant to say, that whilst we were in the waiting room - there was a small dog and as we were getting the medication a big dog came in. Red looked at them, ignored the little one, greeted the older one but then moved away. Very relaxed. Think this is a result of all the A to B work we have been doing. The hyper arousal she has had just isn’t there - good sign.

 

[snowbunny]

Sounds great on all fronts. Hopefully the medication will do its job (and won't cause any more squits in the meantime!) and she'll be back on the level soon. And way to go being chilled in the waiting room!

 

[HAH]

What a girl, lovely waiting room behaviour even when a bit under the weather! Hopefully she'll be settled soon x

 

[Jacqui-S]

Just catching up, hope there are some signs of improvement.
Poor Red x

Good news, hope Red is back to herself very soon. You learn something new everyday, no starving for diarrhoea. xx
