Well I got home from work yesterday to a MESS in the kitchen... diarrhea EVERYWHERE. I took him to the vets for our appt and forgot to bring the sample... but luckily he is a nervous or excited pooper, so he provided them with a sample on the floor while we were there!
Anyways, he had a bit of a temp - 103. They said they do not like to see the temp above 102.5 as a high. They did a rectal exam and found red & white blood cells. He is on 2 antibiotics, amoxycilin and I forget the other one but its supposed to help harden his stool and take down inflamation in his colon/intestines. The vet was concerned with him getting dehydrated so they gave him SubQ fluids and sent him home with me. Aside from being tired and medicated he was a happy pup last night. He had a little bit of diarrhea about an hour after we got home, but did not throw up again and no more diarrhea through the night. He is on a bland diet of 4 parts white rice to 1 part boiled turkey burger. Im feeding him only that about a 1/2 a cup twice a day. Hes eating fine and drinking water fine.
Im waiting for the vet to call with the results of the stool sample. If its a parasite then my other boy has to go on antibiotics also. Although they do not think it is because my other baby is fine.
Thanks for the support! Prayers that I come home today to a much improved healthy dog and a clean kitchen!
