In the last two weeks, they usually eat after a bit of time. I've not yet forced them to skip a meal, but I'm positive they would eat it.
They ate their lunch with no problems this afternoon.
We went to the vet today, and I laid everything out as in my previous post. We are running bloodwork on Pax to see where his numbers are now and we're going finish out the little bit of metronidazole that's left.
We've given Pax three doses of Drontal Plus and she said for parasites usually the symptoms are gone within 14 days.
If Pax's diarrhea returns we have Tylison powder on hand now which is a better long term antibiotic for diarrhea. The next step would be to start the prednisdone to reduce inflammation and tackle possible hypersensitivity or allergies.
The vet wants me to consult with a nutritionist and do a food trial. We currently home cook for another health concern, calcium oxolate stones. The diet has worked well for 4 years, so I'm looking for someone who will work with me and not try to change everything we've done to prevent the stones.
