This was not a common thing. This was actually diagnosed fairly quickly once she got to that vet...he followed the right path imo.
As for DD...it also turns out that the many months of diarrhea were not caused by that one dose of Metacam. Now..I am NOT saying Metacam was correct to give with steroids...only saying...well you know. You told me there was a vet who told you it was not that and you did not believe him. Sometimes the vets are right...I know it is hard to trust...but you also have to be careful listening to people who dont trust them at all like that woman you mentioned. That kind of thinking scares me. |
yeah and why i make up my own mind and my dog never had diarhea before metacam for 5 years so i feel strongly it all started from there and me stopping the probiotics which is evident as i put her back on them and 7 days no diarhea and that was prior to antibiotics. Also he gave the metacam on an empty stomach on top of the steroids which is a double whamy
