I was quite frustrated with the vet for not being able to pin it on anything besides "gastro upset" but I do realize that only I can really be the one to pinpoint the reasons in the end. After reading on here about the Innova change and going back through my checkbook and realizing that her problem coincided with the new food purchase (new bag, not new brand of food to her), then I felt so much better for finding the reason for her problems.
I do hope your vet can figure out what's wrong. Do you think it was the pain meds (read your other story too) that is doing this to her tummy? Sorry if you already answered this... didn't get to read every post. |
My gosh Angie, poor little Tatum!! I bet you must have been scared out of your wits being that she had it THREE times!
Bless her little heart!
That poor girl
Thank goodness it was only due to a formula change in the food and nothing more!
I DO think it was the pain meds that caused Tatum to have the bloody stool (well, diarrhea-like). She only had it once and it wasn't too long after I gave the Previcox to her. It seems that once the Previcox was "out of her system", she never had the bloody stools again. I did alot of research online about the Previcox and bloody diarrhea is definitely one of it's side effects. Also, it is not supposed to be given to babies that are under 12 and 1/2 pounds or so....so my vet prescribing this to her honestly just TICKS me off. Needless to say, we will be finding a new vet
