I was able to take him home about 24 hours later, but he is still on Carafate for his tummy/diarrehha and Pepcid AC. He has been eating chicken, broth and rice only since last monday. (Aside from a TINY amount of peanut butter that I hide his pills in so he'll eat them).
Just this weekend he began to "act" normal again, except he has REALLY runny poop. I don't think it's true diarehha because he only poops 2-3 times a day, but when he does, it's really runny (only a little solid material). I am wondering if you think this is normal, and also what kind of foods you feed your yorkies when they have diarehha/tummy issues. The only other thing I tried feeding him was yogurt, but he will only eat a very little bit of it. I don't know if the chicken/rice combo is causing this, or...?
I really want his stool to harden up because it's worrying me! Thanks for your help. |
Soft stools can be caused by a multitude of things.....something he ate.....which usually clears up, pretty fast. Or can be an abundance of bacteria in his digestive tract, which requires meds.
My lil girl started a couple of weeks ago with a slimey stool. Put her on Rice and Chicken and flagyl.....the slime went away but, still had loose stools, took her in for a stool check...no parasites, but vet put her on Albon...a week later her stool is still very soft but formed and she's going to be taken in for a culture to see what bacteria is in her system. Other than soft stool, twice a day, no temp, eating well, and her normal crazy self.
