california has diarrhea... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

dejison · 01-01-2008, 11:43 AM

california is now 9 weeks she just started having diarrhrea last night and went about four times...this can be due to her being given 5 little treats, i also gave her more food than her normal daily amount due to trying to get her to eat some medicence to treat worms....ive been giving her plenty of water to kep her hydrated. she has a vet appointment on friday but until then im using home methods i read off board..for starters she is on a 24hr water diet..today my girlfriend is going shopping what are some things that will help becuase ive seen so many methods im not sure what to pick..should we mix in rice with a little of her ruglar food? give cottage cheese and rice? pepto bismol?canned pumpkin? whats is the easy best solution for now?

i guess my main question is when i start the diet with whatevers suggested is that all i feed her for a few days and how many times to give it to her per day? like do i give her for example canned pumpkin one hour the 3 hours later pepto, then later that night more pumpkin?

I think that alot of people here use a little canned pumpkin....I don't know how much so I will let someone else answer your question. I hope she feels better.

Also, the treats could have caused it too even though they are little. 5 little treats to a yorkie pup is like a meal.

I hope she gets better soon...

Welcome!! The diahrrea could be from the medicine also. I would try and give her a little rice mixed in with her food or a little chicken. Hope she feels better soon!

Maybe do not give her anything except water for a few hours and maybe a little canned pumpkin, and then if the diarrhea is better, then maybe tonight you can give her some of her regular food. If it is not better then I would definetly take her to the vet tomorrow as it may be something worse than just dietary changes. If she is having really bad diarrhea that continues today, then I would call your vet or go to the emergency vet.

Do a search on here. There is alot of good posts on this. Some suggest boiled chicken and rice.

I am no expert and I might be wrong but I would be really afraid to give only water to such a young yorkie for fear of hypoglycemia. Do you have some nutrical? At least get some nutrical and use some of it.

I hope your baby feels better

Me too...man, that would be bad! Seriously though...I hope your baby is better soon

You might want to try this recipe that I have seen posted on here before:
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup baby rice cereal
1 jar meat baby food (no turkey)
1 tsp karo

I would also give her a half teaspoon of canned pumpkin (not the kind with spices in it). Also get some baby pedialyte and give her a little of that. It can be very dangerous if a baby that young does not eat or get nutrition. She could possibly have coccidia. I would never put a puppy that young on just a water diet.

dejison · 01-01-2008, 12:35 PM

ok my girlfriend is saying she doesnt feel comfortable giving her pumpkin b/c she is saying she has already had two different types of puppy food,treats and rice since her coming home on the 24th. so do you think rice and cattage cheese would be good? do you mix that in or seperate it?

as for the baby pedi. medicene how much of that should be given and how often?

dejison · 01-01-2008, 01:17 PM

great so i talked to my girl and california is back to solid again but to play itsafe we will have her on rice for a couple of days and gradually go back to her normal diet

bjh · 01-01-2008, 01:18 PM

I don't know for sure on the pedialyte. I just give a dropper or two full every few hours. What kind of food did the breeder send home with her and what did you her switch to? Is you puppy active or is she sleeping a lot? If she is not active then give her some nutri-cal or karo syrup. You just can't play around when these babies get sick that young. I would take to her the vets tomorrow if possible if she still has diarrhea. The canned pumpkin if perfectly safe. You can mix a little in with her food.

Patti · 01-01-2008, 01:31 PM

Glad she seems better. The rice wouldn't hurt for another day or so

dejison · 01-01-2008, 01:41 PM
