Good afternoon, I am worried because I am afraid my vet is over medicating Strudel!!!
I took him there 2/6/12 because of direah that started during a road trip to OK. They gave him anti-biotics for 7 days and probiotics. I fed him plain chicken and rice. This Monday I went for the follow up, everything was fine, she gave him another round of shots (which kinda made me mad because his breeder had given all his shots already but they wouldn't "accept" those) and prescribed him this food to put him on to help the GI tract. It's Hills prescription diet ID wet food. Monday night I kept feeding him the chicken and rice, for some reason I was feeling very nervous about this food. Before he was sick he was on a mix of life's abundance and royal canin. He was very gassy even before he got sick.
So Tuesday I started with the new food. Even though vet says that this food is completely safe to switch to completely, I mixed it with a little chicken and rice still because I know my baby is picky and sensitive. He scarfed it down all day. Wednesdayi gave him a bit more of the ID Food, Wednesday night runny poo!!
Thursday runny poo/diareah!!! So I take him back to vet today, they want him to continue eating the new food and want to give him a few more days of antibiotics. All parasite tests came back negative. He's running around, acting normal.
I'm scared to give him more anitibiotics, he's so small and we are notneven sure what is wrong with him!!! What should i do
