Back to the vet!
Gracie Leigh's diarrhea still hasn't cleared up, although it's a lot better. She's trying to poop on the paper tool poor little thing. I've been feeding rice and a little kibble and giving her flagyl for the past 3 days.
I called the vet today (didn't tell her about the flagyl). She's going to put her and Max on a broad spectrum dewormer. 3 days on, 2 weeks off, then 3 days on again. She thinks maybe there's some parasite the tests just aren't picking up. |
Awwwww poor babies. Hope the vet will sort them out for good now, so they rid of those awful poopies.
They so precious! |
I hate it when the babies are having problems...so you add some chicken to the rice? It always helped whenever mine needed it.
|
I sure hope Gracie Leigh is feeling better real soon. Poor baby. :( Lots of hugs to her and tell her she's gotta keep those fluids in her belly so she doesn't dehydrate.
|
Aww, poor little girl! It's so sad when they are sick... :( Give her a big hug from me and tell her to feel better soon!!
|
How is Gracie doing, Judy?
|
When Bowser gets diarrhea we put him on an antibiotic for some kind of bacteria in his water which he seems to be very sensitive to. It calms it down in a day or two at most. I actually buy it from the feed supply store because it is so much cheaper than what the vet can do. It has directions on the bottle for the right dose for chickens and pigs lol!
|
Judy, I'm so sorry that Gracie Leigh is still having problems. I hope that the vet prescribes the right meds to help get rid of it. With GL and Max being so small is a big worry when they are sick. Give them a hug and kiss from me too!!!
|
Gucci and I send hugs and kisses to Gracie Leigh, I hope she is back to herself in no time..
|
Judy,
On the Labradoodle site I frequent, many talk about giving their dogs yogurt to keep their tummies well and pumpkin to solidify their feces. Neither should hurt a dog... so you might try a spoonful of each on their food just in case it would help? How frustrating for you to have to keep dealing with this. |

I just called the vet. I see red blood again in Gracie Leigh's poop and Max's poop is not poop color. She has them both on Panacur for 3 days, then 2 weeks off, then 3 days on again. She thinks maybe Gracie's stomach problems may be due to worms that she missed seeing.
I don't think she has worms. She had been positive for giardia. I think her little intestines are all inflamed and she needs to go on boiled chicken, rice and some mashed carrots for a couple of weeks. She's back on her kibble now with rice and I think it's too much for her. She's so cute, trying to poop on the paper. Max is pooping on the rug now - he really got yelled at this morning! Maybe his tummy is upset though from the diet change back to kibble and he's trying to show me. Anyway, she'll call me back. |
Boiled chicken, and rice with mashed carrots is good, i would keep them both on that for a couple of weeks, unless your vet tells you differently.
Let us know what the vet said please. |
I feel so sorry for Gracie Leigh and Max. :cry: I hope they are better soon!
|
Hope Gracie and Max are better soon. It is awful to see them sick. They are so helpless.
