Personally if it were my gal, I'd stop messing with her food all together and just keep her on boiled chicken and rice until things settle with her and her tummy issues and bloody BM's. Switching her food so many times is going to do nothing but cause her lil tummy more stress. I know it's so hard to know the right thing to do when your vet is telling you one thing and others are telling you even more things. I'd give her some time on the rice and chicken and let her be on that, if things settle down and get back to normal for her, then SLOWLY introduce her regular food back in at very little amounts at a time. When she is all switched back over to her regular food and all is well, leave her like that for a bit and then find a food you know you approve of and then slowly switch her over to that by adding a lil in to her regular food and then eventually lessening the amount of her old food until the change is complete. But as for right now, I wouldn't give her anything except the chicken and rice, her tummy really does need a rest after all she's been through. As for that vet, I wouldn't take another one of my animals back to him, ANY vet should know better than to give an animal shots that are having bloody stool issues and they should also know better than to advise a parent of a patient to give their furkid hamburger! And to tell you the Gods honest truth, I wouldn't let ANYONE give her another shot for vaccines until she is COMPLETELY over all of this and her system has had a good rest and time to build itself back up. My heart goes out to you so much as I went through something very simular to this with Maggy May and her brother Gibbs, but we ended up losing Gibbs after being sent home with him from the Emergency vets with an all clear bill of health. Listen to your gut, obviously you aren't comfy with what your vet is telling you or you wouldn't be here asking us if what the vet has told you sounds right. I'd seriously find another vet, this isn't even my furkid and I'd like to set him straight on a thing or two just from what hes done and told you to do with concerning your furbaby. Many prayers going up for you and your lil one.
