He said he did test her, and it was neg, but if she still has blood in her stool to bring her back in a couple of days for a retest. I must have misunderstood him about her coming back to him in two weeks, as he said she has to get more shots in two weeks. He still insists that she had a hypoglycemia attack yesterday. I guess I will have to believe what he is telling me. Also, once I told him that she still had bright red blood in her stool and still was soft, he wants me to feed her hamburger and rice. Does this sound correct? Thanks |
There is not way I would give her hamburger meat. It would really tear up her stomach. If she were mine I would give her a 1/2 teaspoon the canned pumpkin with a little karo twice a day and keep her on the same diet she is used to as long as her stool is getting firmer. If you do want to try some home cooked food then just take some ground turkey, simmer it in a small amount of water until cooked and then add some cooked brown rice to that. I just hate messing to much with their diet when they are sick....sometimes it makes them sicker. What kind of canned food did you feed her? The next thing I would do is find a new vet that understands the dangers of giving too many vaccinations to tiny puppies.
