Sorry for the lack of updates.
Pax had the ultrasound done which showed his small intestines mildly inflamed and pancreas enlarged. His spec cPL was less than 30 in the Texas GI and the other values were within or very close to reference range.
Pax was doing ok all of last week until Friday. He wouldn’t eat dinner and skipped breakfast on Saturday. We made him ground turkey, potatoes, and a small amount of puréed peas/carrots. He ate that Saturday afternoon through today for lunch, however he would not eat dinner tonight.
We gave Pilot and Pax another dewormer Friday night (after Pax wouldn’t eat), and this morning close to 24 hours later he had bad diarrhea and cowpies. I think it may attributed to the Drontal Plus. He is still on the metronidazole as is Pilot. Though the 10 days will soon be up.
The IM vet I called never returned my call, so I’m going to call more places tomorrow and get him seen ASAP.
I can’t ignore the fact that Pilot had the same type of liquid diarrhea as Pax.
I really hope we can figure this out soon. Pilot seems to be doing ok for now.
Does anyone know if the had coccidia if metronidazole would still stop the diarrhea even though it’s not the drug to treat it? We did test Pax for all the protozoa but it came back negative. We’ve dewormed the boy a couple times now within the last month. |
