| Re: 8 wo puppy w/ diarrhea, also throws up My vet didn't test for parvo. She said not to worry about it... I've heard and read a lot about parvo so I'm still going to ask my vet to do the test... as well as those for coccidia, giardia and whipworms!
As for the loose stools, if it's nothing of the above that's causing it, I'm going to ask her to give me something to treat this. The weird thing about his diarrhea is that he was alright (firm stools) the day after I brought him to the vet (means Friday everything was good). Then on Saturday I decided to give him more food and almost doubled the size of his meals (which was a stupid thing to do, thinking of it now). Then the diarrhea came back.
He's pooped only once today so far. I wasn't here but my boyfriend told me that it wasn't as yellowish as it was... and it was definitely firmer but not enough yet. I'm willing to introduce the new food this weekend, as it's been 5 days today that he's on the chicken and rice diet. I'll ask my vet regarding this anyway, I won't try anything before knowing exactly if it's alright or not. |
