Back to the vet!

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 will have to keep this in mind when my fur kids have a tummy issue.

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.
