It might be a good idea too to hold off on the dewormer for a few days if there was no diagnosis. The poor boy needs to rest his GI system right now.
Sorry I said Pepcid instead of Zantac, I get them muddled up as they are used in similar ways. It is important to keep him hydrated by drinking water or by adding liquid to his food.
Hoping your baby feels better soon and that the stool firms up.
Obviously if he does not improve you might take him back to the vet for further tests and meds. |
I've been slowing upping the pumpkin and seeing a gradual change, TMI but I went up to 1.5tbs-2tbs and his poops have taken a slight custard cone swirl, still very soft BUT not water Anymore. I'm not sure about going above 2tbs though? Seems like quite a bit? Since yesterday's vet visit His pooping has reduced to only after meals now, which is good but concerns me a little! Not sure how much nutrients he's retaining like this. When weighed at the vet yesterday he had lost a few oz, but as of this Evening he has gained back those oz which is also a good sign. Crossing my fingers! I'm giving his stomach till mon-tues to settle if not I will be checking back with the vet.
