Hello everyone... I am new to the forum and am glad to be part of this community. My little boy Polo was born a day after my birthday (05/06/09) so I know we were meant to be. I did not bring him home until July 4th when he was 8 weeks. \He is the most energetic little guy around!! He just went to the vet on -7/23/09 for his 2nd round of parvo boosters. I was feeding him the Purina puppy chow brand, the version for teeth. He loved that stuff. Two days ago I was not close to my local grocery and I had to go to another store. I looked for the same flavor but they only had the "healthy morsels" purina puppy chow. I fed it it to him that night he didnt really seem to like it but he ate it. He has been eating it for the last couple of days and has been his normal self. When I left for work this morning he was fine. My little brother stayed at my house today and said at about 10:30 am he started throwing up and sleeping. When I got home he was not himself he was very distant and quiet. He had diarrhea and his nose was dry. I called his vet and she said bring him in. She ran a Parvo test which was negative, gave him fluids via an IV, a reglan injection, and sent him home with antibiotics I believe Flagyl. Does anyone know what is wrong with him and if he will be ok... What should I do???
