And, given your other dogs got diarrhea - it tells me that whatever Paxton had - it was contagious - therefore, not really stress related (entirely, that is). Did they test for coccidia?
Probiotics are easily obtained (I wouldn't give just yogurt bc you need a bigger boost) - go to Whole Foods or some health food store - ask for help, get the kind that is REFRIGERATED - otherwise, they are most likely dead, unless they are processed in a special way (then, are non-cooled and are ~$35). Give about a 1/2 cap per day with a morning meal. Any brand is fine. Whole Foods actually has a little pet vitamin section - and I think they sell digestive enzymes - do you have one near you?
And, just keep in mind - that just bc all tests for giardia were negative - he still could've had giardia, unfortunately. |
We have a Central Market close....I am on my way! I requested the third test because I was afraid they might have missed something....the girls in the office are getting annoyed with me! They called me with the results and said no parasites on high levels of bad bacteria. I am soooo mad!
I Know the vets are awesome at this clinic but I am ready to change but I don't want to do this mid stream. However if my little guys health is in jeopardy and their office staff have bad attitudes I will not hesitate! Thanks for your help!
