In any case, I will not be using the two Chinese herbs he was on, the diarrhea was horrific and scary for me and, affected my pups stomach. I do agree, certain meds don't work for every dog.
He finally just now pooped since 12:30AM , no change, still loose diarrhea,it just drips out of him.
I know that you are not thrilled with the other vets but you might not have any other choice. You are risking dehydration if it goes on for to long and just getting him to drink more water isn’t going to replace the electrolytes. You can try clear pedialyte but not all of them will drink that. Callie once had diarrhea for only a few days and was massively dehydrated. I have heard the rice sometimes is not always the best that white potato and even oatmeal might be better.
