Well we are back from the vet. The vet said he has been seeing a lot of diarrhea and vomiting this past week. He said he was going to treat Louis as though he has pancreatitis. He gave him a shot of penicillin and Metoclopramide (for vomiting I think) and Pro-Pectalin for diarrhea. He said to give Louis 1 tbs of boiled chicken and rice later on tonight. He told me that if Louis doesn't show any improvement by tomorrow morning to bring him in to have blood work done. (He told me to call either way to let him know how Louis is doing, which I thought was nice.) The last time I weighed Louis he was 6lbs, 8ozs. Today he only weighed 5lbs. 8ozs. Poor guy. I can't believe he lost one pound!:( As soon as we got home Louis ran to his water bowl and got a drink. Another good thing! Thanks again for everyones advice and encouraging words! |

Did the vet indicate the reason for so many patients with diarrhea and vomiting? |

Hoping he continues to improve today :) |
I am glad you got him in and he is on meds to make him better. I will keep him in my prayers to make a full and quick recovery. |
Thank you for the update! :) So happy to hear this....hopefully those meds will help Louis's tummy settle. That is great that he is drinking water! Hope you have a much better night tonight with him! :) |
So glad you took him in. I always think it's better to be safe than sorry with these little ones. Waiting usually ends up with a sicker dog and a bigger vet bill. |

Update on Louis! Well I gave Louis his first dose of medicine at 3:00 and he hasn't thrown up or had diarrhea since. He ate chicken and rice for dinner, and drank some water. He is acting almost like himself again.:) Thanks again to eveyone! |

I am so glad to hear Louis is starting to feel better. I have found with mine that they start feeling better after the first dose too. |
