She could eat no - and I do mean no premium dog food or any dog food other than one - Science Diet Sensitive kibble, not the moist version. I spent a fortune on trying her on all kinds of special dog food B4 arriving at this several weeks into our ordeal. And Jilly could not eat even one small bit of any human food without the vomiting and dark, sticky stool, which varied from diarrhea with bright blood/pus to that dark, sticky version of it. She very nearly died B4 I found her one food that she could tolerate. In her case, once her diet was settled, she still had bouts of upset from time to time - she would forage out in the yard B4 I could get to her - but lived the rest of her 12 1/2 years out quite normally. And she was small - the runt of her litter, of which the others averaged around 5 lbs. My poor vets were absolutely no help with this as the more meds, tests and special food they recommended, the sicker she got. We lived at the vets office for about 5-6 weeks and it was one of the most harrowing experiences of my life - let alone what my poor llittle dog went through. Only when I started the Science Diet Sensitive and some Kaopectate did her little life turn around and she became a full-time playful and not sick little dog. Of course I don't know if extreme food sensitivity could be your little baby's problem but I am sharing our experience just in case it might be her food causing this. I am hoping for the best for your baby as I know what it is to witness your baby being so ill. You really feel helpless. |
You are describing exactly what Maya's stool is like. We are currently on Science Diet
sensitive stomach.....is this the one you used. The kibble in this one is not very small it is sort of a medium side cushion looking thing. SHe has to crunch is to eat it. Also how and in what quantity did you do the kaopectate?? I'm curious. This sounds like it is getting to the heart of what goes on with Maya.
