Gizmo is ...dang...almost a week and a half short of being six months old.
He is teething ferociously...tongue moving constantly in his mouth, not wanting to bite down, bats his ball around instead of picking it up in his mouth, etc...
We also had the rat poison scare last week, and he's still on the daily vitamin k supplements and will remain on those for awhile. He was treated by induced vomiting, activated charcoal, and a vita k injection at the time.
He is not eating very much at all. He'll eat soft pieces of chicken (if I handfeed) but isn't touching the hard kibble.
His urine is very yellow, and I have been assuming it's the vita k. Now I'm reading that vitamin k is stored in the fat cells. Would it still cause the very yellow urine I'm seeing?
Over the past two days, he's had two strange combo stools. Some of it is firm and some of it is a yellowish liquidy mucous. I do NOT see blood or anything black in it.
Is this teething, the result of eliminating the charcoal, vita k side effect?
If I had seen blood, we would already be at the emergency vet, but I haven't. Do you think this can wait until tomorrow morning?
Thanks in advance.
