I have had my little "Paxton" for almost 5 weeks. He was flown into the DFW airport from Tsa La Gi in Oklahoma. He will be 6 months old the end of this month. Everything was going great for the first 4-5 days and then out of nowhere there was runny poop with mucus and blood.
Of course I called the vet and rushed him in immediately. They tried to get a poop sample but his little hiney was empty. They gave him a 10 day course of Albon and suggested we do a prescription diet RN...chicken and rice and to also give him plain yogurt with live cultures. During the 10 days he acted happy but his poop really never firmed up....of course when his medication was completed the diarreah was back in full force ....I am sooo panicked at this point...I love him soooo much! We went back to the vet as now my little Yorkie :Cricket and my Wire Hair Fox Terrier :Bentley now have the poops and I am about to loose it! Again they did a fecal float and a Giardia snap test....negative on the Giardia and no parasites...but all three have a high level of bad bacteria. They were given a full course of Flagyl.....Cricket and Bentley are better but little Paxton is not. Back to the vet again....They gave him one more thing to try Tylosin. It is an antibiotic that you sprinkle on their food....We did this for two days and the things started getting really ugly! I could actually put my head up to his tummy and hear it rolling and making really loud sounds!!!!
Last try before serious testing begins....He is back on a 10 day treatment of Albon.
I am boiling white skinless chicken breasts and steaming white rice...no seasoning....water to drink...plain yogurt as the vet suggested. No bones, rawhides ...flossies or anything that might have any kind of bacteria on it. I am super nervous that something is wrong with Paxton....The vet said it could be stress.....I am not sure about this! Any ideas or suggestions....please go easy I might have a heart attack!!!!
I have been looking for days for what could be wrong? Intestinal lymphangiectasia with protein losing enteropathy is something I found that has me super scared!!!!!! HELP!
