My Benjamin got ahold of some table scraps a few years ago. He was VERY sick vomiting and diarrhea. We took him into the vet and they gave him some Centrine Tablets (antispasmodic/stops vomiting and the runs) and metronidazole (slows the tummy and tightens everything up again). I gave him the meds with a little yogurt and that helped stop the symptoms. I also have used another anti diarrheal that is in a tube just like what the nutrical comes in but the name escapes me. I think it was called diarsol? It is a prescription as well.
I think it is very important as little as these guys are to always concentrate on stopping the symptoms #1. They become hypoglycemic easily. If u can take a sample of the stool in a zip loc to the vet. Ben really appreciates this as he HATES getting the fecal done. (Ben has had colitis / IBD for many years). I have to say in my experience I NEVER use the pepto route. Pepto just doesnt work well for ben. So you may mention the metronidazole and centrine to your vet.
I hope this helps u.. |
