Diarrhea I took Rocky to the Dr. this evening and to my disappointment all they really did is give me a bill and offer test he has already had. A couple of weeks ago he had Distemper shot, before that he had fecal sample, intestinal parasite fecal exam, at that time they said he may have kennel cough, next time they said he mat have parvo , so my husband had the parvo test to put that to rest once in for all. Yesterday he threw up and today he has had diarrhea but I'm afraid they are taking advance of a concern parent. the groomer said give him plain yogurt for the diarrhea. He still plays and eats just find. Last time they told me to give him pedialyte:animal-pa this time they offer fluids for a price of course. i may have made a big mistake buying this insurance it may be a rip off, now I am stuck for a year. My baby has diarrhea we take our shoes off he does not go outside yet ?? Any help I appreciate. We try to watch him closely I don't know what he could have possibly got into because he only out for short periods when we are playing with him and feeding him..I mop several times a day !!! help, help, help Thanks |
are you going to banfield? what are you feeding? some dogs are lactose intolerant so yogurt can make them have diarrhea so i prefer probiotics over yogurt and organic pumpkin can firm them up may times they have to run fecals a few times as things like giardia are hard to detect and may take a few fecals to find it |
Yes, bandfield but i will be going all natural very soon. Right now i am feeding him Royal Canin for puppies. I hope by tomorrow he will be ok. He is still running , barking , playing and eating just find. by the way I'm a Cali girl that moved to AZ |

yeah i would get with another vet :( hey we may go to arizona too prescott :) |
thanks much! |
How old is Rocky? A lot of times Banfield gives too many vax maybe that is why he is sick? Once I took Uni there, she had diahrrea, they took a stool sample test I forget which one, it came back negative, but they still gave her a shot for what it was they tested for. I don't trust them, they always over vax. When Uni has diahrrea her NEW wondeful vet prescribed diarsynal (sp?) paste, works like magic. Hope your baby is going to be ok. |
Oh also want to say switching food too quick can cause diahrrea too. |
Rocky is twelve weeks this week. He isn't due a shot until next week. No change of foods just all of a sudden. They gave me a long list of test they could take. About $140 + I said I'll see how he does. I'm already paying for medical with them. I bought it without thoroughly researching but I need to take him for shots My daughter seem to think he ate a piece of newspaper. I don't know we are very watchful when we take him out of his kennel for a little play time. This morning he still has diarrhea. |
oh by the way is that a prescription??? |
i use dds plus for diarrhea it is a non-dairy probiotic Dds-Plus Capsules by U.A.S.Laboratories - UA-1010 - at The Vitamin Shoppe 2 capsules 20-30 min before food in am to coat digestive tract before entering food into system - it works and i use it in my allergy dog and have for over 2 years. Anytime mine get diarrhea i give them this and it goes away immediately |

they are horrible please dont take ur dog there anymore; they tend to overvaccinate and overmedicate; i almost lost my dog because of them. |

I would call around pet stores, ask everyone you see with a dog who their vet is and check around and you can google rate your vet and see if there is one rated in your area. |

Diarsanyl Nutritional Paste I keep some around just in case, like if Uni eats something wierd, and isn't sick/lethargic, but i want her soft poop to stop asap I use this. Squeeze a bit on your finger, open the mouth and scrape onto roof of mouth, and done. Easy! |

I have not seen any ill side effects from Uni. Works like magic, next poop is almost back to 100% normal. |

the vet wants to taken advantage I think. Give the same test he had less than a month ago. I love this site everyone is always so helpful. :) |
Has anyone heard of giving peptobismol to the dog? The first time we were at the vet my husband said either the nurse or the vet said it can be used. |

Maybe call them and say you were wondering if you should give it to him. |
Thanks |

Your baby is such a pretty color, what color is she? I am ordering the diarsanyl she still has loose stool. I tried calling around all day to find it locally to go and buy but no luck. I am thinking of taking her back to banfield but I just feel they are over charging. Every single test they want to re-take they took less than a month ago. I also understand Giardia dog gets from standing water or bird droppings. I called an independent vet to ask how one gets it. This is impossible because my dog does not go outside yet. I know it not good but I'm trying to rule out what has happen so I won't be taken as a fool! The only possibility is he got a tiny piece of food on the floor I didn't see. Thanks for everyone help ! |
One tiny bit of the wrong food can really do a number on these little guys. Once Uni ate a curry noodle that fell on the floor. It had a bunch of stuff that they aren't supposed to eat, garlic, onion, chilis, lots of salt, other spices, and I bet she only ate a tiny piece. Well the next day her whole mouth was covered in saliva and it would not stop dripping. The vet said it may have been an allergic reaction from something in the food, or she could have gotten into something toxic (ant killer, etc) which I don't think it was that. She was like this for a few days, and she had soft poop too, just from that one tiny piece of noodle. So you really do have to be very careful with these guys. Even when you are being super careful, they still get themselves into trouble sometimes. Anyway, if you order the diarsanyl from entirely pets they ship really fast. i usually get my stuff in 2 days. |
