Hope he feels better soon!!!! Hopefully he is just overtired and overstressed.

I finally got him to eat!!!! I cooked up all his possible favorites and set out a mini buffet. I did this when we first got him ...but it didnt work.Tonight it did!
he ate well. Still wouldn't drink so I put a drop of syrup into his water bowl...still no luck , then used a syringe and he seemed to love it. I pray we get good news tomorrow from vet!

Vet called with test results....all negative. SO his thoughts are to keep Kirby off his medications (was in his last three weeks off meds for ring worm) until Monday to give him a boost. He is coming around very good....already much improvement! I did some investigating and one of the meds he was on ...but went off coincidently the day this all started( clavamox)....welll that can make the babies tummy's upset and slow them down...and it takes a few days to get over that after ending the med. But he was much worse than not eating well and less playful. So things are looking brighter right now!
thanks for your support and care!...I was grateful to not feel alone in this....
people to talk to!

I'm glad to hear he''s doing better. I had mine on metronizadole for Giardia for 50 days after arriving here. We are now treating worms again. The medications ruin their tummy's. We are finally adding a little dog food and yogurt to her rice diet. Today was a better day. It's hard when they arrive with issues. Once you get past this, things will get better. My other two dogs also arrived with parasites and it took 6 months before they were on a healthy diet. Now it's smooth sailing. I hope Kirby will continue to improve. There were others here that had puppies with ringworm. Do a search and you'll see that they got past this.

Thanks jessica, that gives me even more hope. He is on th e med you mentioned as a topical plus grisiofulvin oral and jsut finished clavomox.he has three weeks left like i said, but we are taking a break as mentiond. I have had him tested twice for organ failure as i ssuggested for these meds on such small animals luckily good news both times. Hopefully your family or others havent caught ringworm. Vet says kirby may be contagious again now...since off meds. Thanks again to all and jessica I really appreciate your input!!
