So I talked to this vet this morning (well the girl who answered) and she said it is common for dogs to get diarrhea once in a while but that I should bring him tomorrow if it persists. She said first I should give him some boiled chicken and rice, so he's been eating that today. He has not had diarrhea since this morning. I put up his dry food and all he's had so far is a few oz of chicken breast and a handful of rice. If it continues through tonight I will be taking him in tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. She said it is probably not from the frontline. |
Thank you for the update. Sending well wishes for your little guy. Let us know how tonight and tomorrow go. |
1 Attachment(s) Well I woke up this morning to more diarrhea and a pile of vomit, mostly consisting of the rice he had yesterday. So I just got back from the vet and his fecal test came back fine, no parasites. She explained that sometimes dogs get a bug just like people and that is the case with Cesar. I asked why he is still itching even after the frontline and she said it doesn't take effect right away and that it may not be from flea's but he may have an allergy because he's getting to the age where that stuff starts to take effect (he is 2 years, 4 months). So he was given metronidazole to take twice daily and sucralfate to take 30 minutes before eating. Hopefully these help give him some relief. I'm just happy to hear that there was nothing wrong with him and that he should be fine once whatever he has goes away. He weighed a healthy 7 pounds, clean teeth, nice gums, clean ears, good heart rate, temp and lung function, so his physical checked out perfect as well. He even got complimented on his devilishly handsome looks. Can't disagree with that. Just thought I'd update you all. He should be back to normal in no time. |
Cesar is a handsome little devil. :) Sending best wishes that the meds will work quickly and that he will be back to himself in no time. |
Cesar is ADORABLE!!!!!! |
Oh wow I hope your little guy is alright. I came here to ask a frontline question. I usually don't give my Cali flea medicine although she is allergic to fleas. Thankfully she rarely gets them. Once I tried and I put a little on her shoulder blade and it made her entire coat slick as if I had sprayed her with a water bottle. It freaked me out so I never did it again. Now last night I noticed a flea on her and she is in torment from the bites. I have some frontline and want to use it but I'm wondering if i need to use the entire packet. She is only 6 pounds and the little green packet just seems like so much. I am using the correct box for dogs her size, but does anyone else just use half the packet will it be just as effective if I dont use the full thing? desperate for answers |
