I really want to avoid taking her to the emergency vet, everytime we are there the only thing they recommend is putting her to sleep. Is there aything I can give her or do to make her diarrhea go away.. PLEASE HELP!!!  |
I am really surprised that your vet didn't want her seen since this has been going on for 3 days. And I am more shocked that the ER vet recommends putting her to sleep???
What the heck is that about? Is there other problems here? I am sorry, I know you don't want to hear this but I think after 3 days of diarrhea she needs to be seen by a vet. The rice and chicken is good when they have tummy issues but I don't think that is the answer. The last time Rosie had diarrhea for days it was being caused by an infection and she had to have antibiotics. Is she running a fever?
