The vet checked him over and said everything seems to be normal. He took in the stool sample for testing, and gave me some Metronidazole ( 2ml per day for 7 days.)
The results for the sample came in today and he was negative for paracites, and Giardia. I asked the vet, what could be the problem. She couldn't give me an answer. Just that paracites and giardia were ruled out. I was also told to just monitor him for a couple days if he doesn't improve to bring him in for bloodwork.
Shadow is about 6 months now, up to date with shots, eating habits seem normal, and water intake is normal. He is still very active. I took him for a walk, and his stool was soft. He still had some reddish liquid coming out but not nearly as bad as yesterday.
My question is, what could have caused this? The only thing i can think of is he found a worm and ate half of it before I took it away from him. |
It is more than likely your puppy has enteritis, inflammation of the bowel......what your vet prescribed (flagyl) will take care of it and if there is any possibility that giardia exhists it will take care of that too. You should see improvement by tomorrow........The enteritis can be brought on by stress and/or just ingesting something the pup shouldn't.
