Assuming she is about 4 1/2 pounds I would think 1/2 cup daily total (all additives included would be about right). Don't think it matters if you feed two meals a day or three meals, just divide equally. Just add a little chicken - white meat. no skin (dark meat and skin has too much fat), and skip the wellness canned and other meats at least until you get this under control. Flagyl was probably prescribed just in case of giardia since it is hard to test for, but worms or coccidia show up on fecal tests.
If this doesn't help after a week or two, then you need to talk to vet about withholding food for 24 hours to give the stomach a rest and maybe getting another round of antibiotics or a injection. I recently took mine to the vet and she got an injection to clear up very frequent watery diarrhea that was caused by me giving her a small piece of steak that was a little past expiration apparently. One injection and she cleared up immediately and it was pretty bad. I am on vacation right now so can't look at the bill to see what it was.
Another question, actual diarrhea is defined by frequency not consistency - are bowel movements frequent or just very loose when they occur? |
