Luckily with her though - no vomiting at all, never has been other than the ocassional bile in the AM back when I had a hard time getting her to eat really anything when I first got her. Now, I'm thinking the Verus and Orijen that I WAS managing to get in her was maybe bothering her tummy even though poops were fine because she did have gas (on the Orijen anyway) and didn't want to eat it. Now with the chicken and rice and canned lamb that she does do really well on - she's a chow hound lol. I feel terrible if her tummy was upset that whole time and I just thought she was mearly being picky.
What test did the vet do on Kinder to diagnose the campylobacter? Was it just a fecal smear (different than a parasite check), was it sent to a lab? What other test did they run and were they all normal? I don't think she's actually sick since no vomit and everything else normal and she's fine as long as she's not eating kibble. WHY she doesn't seem able to tolerate kibble I hope I can find out, just to make sure there's nothing underlieing. Idk, it really really just seems like a sensativity to something though since she bounces right back so easily.
I'll keep your Kinder in my thoughts and pray that she recovers quickly and they find out what's going on. How's she been doing on the Fromms since she's been there and back on it? Any improvement? | I hope Alice is feeling better today and I surely will keep her in my prayers and thoughts. Yesterday we were able to take Kinder home because she seemed to be eating better and drinking water. My vet did not send her vomit or poop out he checked it in his office probably under the microscope. This diarrea all started four days after the groomer and our groomer gives them raw hotdogs for a treat. I wonder if the hotdogs gave her camplobacter but my vet still says the bullysticks from U.S and S. America. Well I stopped the Fromms Chicken and just put her on the Fromms Whitefish Potatoe. The vet said to give her boiled chicken breast with rice and she did good for three days then the vomiting she couldn't hold her food down. I was just introducing her dry whitefish so our vet kept her Wed.Thurs. and Friday. So far no campylobacter and he said just give her water and Fromms Whitefish he said she did very well. She can't have any treats and no canned food. Now when I think of it I was giving her the Innova Lowfat canned just a teaspoon with her dry; well that has chicken and turkey so no more that.So basically it is down to water and Fromms whitefish nothing else and we will see how this works. I was thinking like you maybe the dry is too rich but keep me posted on Alice and I will keep her in my prayers, she is a little doll. Too bad they can not talk.I wished you lived by me and I would give you some Fromms white fish to try. The dealers that sell it give samples. My vet just thinks chicken and other poutry is making her sick. He also said one food and that will help us greatly. Take care of and give Alice a hug from Kinder. Susan
