 Diarrhea
Hi everyone. Im confused and worried and know I'll receive great advice here.
This is a graphic description so please BE WARNED.
So my baby got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a few months back (i was a terrible doggy mommy and used to feed him whatever he wanted out of guilt) but since then hes been on NOTHING but Hills I/D- Hes on month 3 out of the total 6 that the vet recommended he should be on it and was doing amazing this whole time. However, starting sunday night he had diarrhea that I could not figure out for the life of me. The next day (monday) it turned into a jelly-like yellow poo that smelled horrid and remained this way until Tuesday evening (no blood whatsoever thank god). I of course called the vet and he said this was a normal flare-up case of IBS and to give him lomotil and imodium for a week and hed be fine. Since wednesday, his poop has been forming better each day and is finally a normal consistency today, but it still smells terrible. Also, hes very lethargic and eats once a day if that. Basically any advice, opinions, anything is more than appreciated. I'm thinking of changing his vet as I'm always left with more questions than answers but until then, I would appreciate any advice. Thanks everyone! |
