Feeling sick and having car sickness and diarrhea and a long car journey was not nice for the poor guy. A shot of anti nausea meds might have made him feel more comfortable? He must have been glad to get home and to his little bed. Also you say he is on a wormer too, a lot for him to put up with if he is not feeling good. Was he diagnosed with parasites or was it just a preventive in case he did have them?
Perhaps he may do better on the chicken and rice for a few days until his system heals. It can take a little time to get the GI system back to normal, as in humans.
For diarrhea, plain pumpkin (no additives) can help with the runs if the vet says it is ok.
Hope he feels better soon and his tummy settles down. |
I was actually not told if there was a diagnosis for a parasite or if it was just a safety measure. The back of the dewormer says may cause vomitting so I'm a little standoff about using it at this moment just because his belly has gone through so much in 3-4 days!
Do you know the thumb rule amount for giving plain pumpkin?
Thanks so much!
