Boil him some white chicken (breast). no seasonings of any kind. if he will eat it, mix it with cooked rice. mine never would eat the rice but if they get upset stomach, i put them on boiled chicken for a couple of days. oh and BTW, you probably should be treating ALL the nine weeks old with the ALBON. Not just the one.

I wouldn't give him pepto, the vet just gave me a sheet a couple weeks ago, it said that keopectate works the same, but is safer. Did the vet not tell you what you could feed him? Poor baby..wonder if he can have a little canned pumpkin at that age to help..

no he didnt but he is eating good and gaining wt but i thought about the bland part myself, but he was dealing with the puppies and my mommy that had vomited up bright red blood that day too so he prob forgot and i had tryed a few things but wanted some suggestions from others too ty

I wouldn't give pepto yet. It can cause some to have bleeding as it contains salicylates.

I would go get some bene-bac from a pet store and give that plus a teaspoon of canned pumpkin. If you can't find the bene-bac, yogurt may work but not as well. Bene-bac will balance out the natural intestinal bacteria.

I hope the baby gets better soon.

Just a little canned pumpkin would work it's natural and helps with loose stools and constipation also.

How are the puppies doing this morning? Just curious did the vet say if they had coccidia? What are you feeding your babies? I hope they are doing better. I know you have been through a lot.
