I just took Archie to the vet after he started pooping blood. She couldn't get another stool sample because he hasn't gone to the bathroom at all. We're not sure if it's an obstruction (he ate a chicken bone the other day) or if it's a parasitic infection. He's been itching his feet a lot. I believe he was already vaccinated for giardia but it's one of those things where they can still get it even if they are vaccinated. The thing is that Archie has been in a pond so it could be from that. Anyway, she gave him Flagyl and told me to feed him only boiled chicken and rice. He hasn't gone to the bathroom yet, though, but he's drinking water and playing like nothing is wrong with him.
You have to be really careful. We pretty much let archie do whatever he wants, so from now on...no going in water, going near other dog's poo, and strict sidewalk walks. |
