After going through weeks of diarrhea and visits/calls to the vet, I am finally getting some normal looking stools. However, it has been a bit difficult. My Angel was on antibiotic for about 7 days and on a 1/4 of a peptic pill for a few days [about 10 days total]. But nothing was working. I was feeding her plain chicken breast and rice as per my vet. I tried adding pumpkin, but my yorkie did not like it and it upset her stomach. I then added cooked sweet potato and/or shredded raw carrot to the chicken and rice. THIS SEEMED TO DO THE TRICK! STOOLS SLOWLY TURNING BACK TO NORMAL. The minute I added one of those ingredients, the diarrhea went away. I don't get why. I explained this to my vet and she wants me to keep my dog on this diet a little longer. I have been mixing in probiotics. The vet told me not to give my yorkie a supplement/vitamin due to her delicate stomach. I pray my Angel stays on the right track. Stress seems to play a factor in all this. I have an unbelievable stressful situation in my life right now and my Angel is being affected by it. On top of that I have been sick and have to go for some tests. Please keep us in your thoughts. Thanks so much.
