He is on antibiotics and has gotten better, but I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. How in the world did he get it? He does not go outside. He uses a pad in our house. From everything I've investigated, it comes from contaminated dirt or eating feces. Any help is greatly appreciated. I might add that our sweet Zeu-Zeu has terrible gastrointestinal problems. He has a bleeding ulcer and reflux from taking NSAIDs for his LCP, so we deal with blood in vomit and stool sometimes. This time really scared us. Thank you for any advice/help. |
It will not let me edit the post for some reason. His CBC and chem panel were normal.
