Bambi has had runny poop on and off for about a week now. i thought it was from her Corona Virus shot she got 10 days ago. I called the vet and told him that 3 days after getting the shot she started having some runny poop. He said to give her KO and plain yogurt so I tried it and it seemed to be helping. Plus I started her on boiled chicken and rice. Last evening through this morning she seems better (has never lost her energy) So I was shocked when dd called me at work around 10:30 saying Bambi had stuff coming from both ends and she seen some blood in the pooh. So I rushed home and got her in at Garrett's vet instead. They tested her for Parvo & worms....both were negative, so they think it might be that she ate some bunny dropping from the yard. She got 2 shots (Famotidine & Anzemet) & an antibiotic (Metronidazole) to come home with. She's resting now & no yuckies in the last 2 hours. Hoping they work cause the vet said we'd have to do blood work and xrays next.
I'm kicking myself for listened to her vet who's very nice but a very old gentleman. I told Breny about it last week and she said her vet said no to KO but it was helping so I kept it up. Next time I'll listen and I've got a different vet now!!!!!! They were so good with Bambi and me. The vet was really sweet she said she got the smallest needles they had to give Bambi her shot with so it wouldn't hurt as bad. She said she wanted to try this route first to see if Bambi recovers before drawing blood from her small self. If she doesn't improve, I'll take her back for blood work and xrays. She weighed in at 2.12lbs today (she was 2.09 on 6/18) the weights were at different vets, but both digital scales so I think they are pretty accurate right? And good with me because though they squeezed me in at the last minute I still went a little momma bear on the vet tech...she came in with white fur all over her shirt (so I knew she had other dog germs on her) and she wanted to take Bambi to the back to get the fecal sample. I explained that I was being overly germ-a-phobic with what's around her and didn't want her taking Bambi back there around the other dogs and said I'd hold her and not interfer with her doing what is needed to get pooh (LOL) she was like....ahhhhh let me ask if that's ok. They were very accommodating to my wishes on that. I found myself contemplating what I'd do if she had Parvo and had to stay...I was picturing me with a cot on the vet's floor by her cage
Anyone else ever have this happen? I never ever have her out walking in public places (she's always inside her carrier) and I never let others outside our home pet her. And she only gets to run in our back yard that is fenced in and no other dogs get in there but mine.
I'm just so thrilled that it's not parvo!!!!!!!!!
