Colitis?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Okay, I posted about a week ago about Chelsea having seemingly uncontrollable loose stools and it did get better but now it seems like it's back. I took her to the vet the day after my last post and the vet said that she probably had colitis that was caused by whipworms and gave me five days of medicine and a few cans of prescription food (Purina Vet Diets EN - endogastric formula). I'm also planning on trying to get an appointment with the vet tomorrow, but does anyone possibly know what else would cause this or if it could be something else?

Any and all input is appreciated, thanks

First of all, welcome to YT.

I have no idea about colitis, but I think others on here might know something about it.

I think this thread was buried too quickly, and not many saw it. I hope they will see it now and respond. Good luck. Poor baby!

What were you feeding before the EN and are you done feeding EN now?

I have a pom with colitis and several things will set it off. stress, change in diet, a new treat. I now keep her on a very strict diet and have medicine from my vet for her. Your vet should be able to help.

Thanks all for you help!

Before feeding the EN she was getting Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy....

And yes, she's finished with the EN.

I also called the vet today and she said to wait a couple of days to bring her in to make sure that it's the whipworms or colitis acting up again instead of her maybe getting into something she shouldn't have.

I recommend having her tested for the bacteria Clostridium. Mine both just had it. Its terrible!!!
