| diarrhea for 3 days Mia has had diarrhea for 3 days now, only when she tries to poop it just squirts out liquid not alot just a little bit - I have been giving her the pet penicillin which usually works fine on Lily, but this doesnt seem to be doing anything for her I also put her on the hamburger and rice to see if that would do anything but no signs of a change yet. She is acting normal running, playing with her sister drinking water... if she doesnt seem to be better by tommorow I think we'll be taking her to the vet. Any suggestions or advice from anyone until tommorow? thanks

You can try to give her a few cc's of Pepto, but as this has been going on for three days, I would take her into the vet in the morning, or tonight if she gets lethargic or shows any blood in her stool.

| yes please do not self medicated without advice of vet -- also not a fan of pepto as the old formula was ok but the new one has aspirin in it and not good for the little ones - sulcrulfate is pepto without the aspirin and prescribed by vet |

| Penicillin is an antibiotic, which means that it is going to go through her already strained intestional tract and destroy what is left of her flora. This will only increase the diarrhea. What you want is a pro-biotic to incourage flora growth. Foods such as yogurt or pro-biotic powders will accomplish this. Please check with your vet because there may be a underlying complication not yet diagnosed. Please keep us updated. |
