So i took him to the vet on saturday and after a few tests he was diagnosed with coccidia which i had no idea what it was... He was givin the pink stuff (liquid) for nausea and the ardel to kill the coccidia... Well we went to the emergency vet lastnight due to him being very weak and just collapsing he wasnt able to walk or hardly keep his head up... The emergency vet told us to just start feeding him via syringe 3cc of food every 4 hours and water as well as sugar water... Well he is not getting any better so it seems... My partner and i have been very dilligent in doing this ever 3 hrs as directed... He just seems so weak and lifeless, he is not walking can barely stand has not went potty since earlier this afternoon... Is this normal??? As im new to this breed and new to this disease ive never heard of it before this!!! It is horrible and i am a nervous wreck someone please help me!!! What should i expect during his treatment?? Is this normal for him to just be sleepy all the time and not want to walkand just collapse?? He has been fed on his feeding schedule all day and now he is laying beside me and looks like he has tremors every now and again where his head will shake... I am just a nervous wreck the vets arent really doing anything for him besides telling us to feed him and keep him hydrated... Do i just let this thing run its course?? HELP!!! Thanks in advance.... God bless...   |
I would strongly advise getting Nutrical...it will help him from getting hypoglycemia especially if he is having trouble staying hydrated.
