My little boy Boomer just got over a near death bout of coccidia 2 weeks ago, and just finished the antibiotics this past week. Upon return from the hospital, (2 weeks ago) we noticed patchy skin and this past week started treating him for ringworm per my vet. He has always always been a very active and playful puppy, but the last 4-5 days or so he has been sleeping 2x as often as usual, and is harder to wake. He still gets up to play a little, but definitely is napping a LOT and not eating quite as much (I am supplementing with Nutri-Cal). Being a worrying momma, I just wonder if he is out of sorts because he is still healing, or maybe there is yet ANOTHER underlying problem. I don't want to rush to the vet again unneccessarily (Broke college momma can't afford ER bills). We got him from a very BAD BAD breeder....(yorkshirepups.com, do not do it. Your yorkie will have so many health problems, and the breeder is deceptive)...so I wouldn't be surprised if something else was going on, again. My vet from a free clinic just said to let him rest, but he said that last time and he almost died from coccidia!
Argh! I love this baby boy, and don't want anything to happen to him. Thanks for any suggestions. He is 10 weeks, 2 pounds, and SHAVED!!!
