I believe they just got the puppy. There
are some at-home remedies for diahrea in
dogs. Feeding bland diets like unseasoned
chicken and rice or cottage cheese
sparingly tends to help as well.

yeah its a infection in her intestines
plus the hookworm infestation was horrible
plus all the stress
plus her anemia now
plus the diarea
we started her on amoxacillin(sp?) and
gave her some kaeopectate
the vet told us give her chicken too

Yeah, that should do. Antibiotics are
known for causing diahrea in some
instances and an infection will not help.
You can also try force feeding her some
pedialyte to get the electrolytes back in
that hse is loosing with her illness

Hi there... How is peanut now? I hope that
he's ok. I am sorry that you're going
through all of this. Do you still
volunteer at an animal shelter. Maybe they
can help peanut, if they have a 'shelter
vet' Or can you go on a payment plan to
pay back in small payments. OR is there a
vet school there that can help you for
less. I hope that Peanut gets better..
Good luck S!

hey shes doing alot better
shes kept two feedings down so far with
little diarea so im hopeing she will keep
it up
yes i still partner with town lake and
killeen animal services and there is
nothing they can do at this point
they have vet techs basically for shots
and stuff
nothing like this
so im using the vet i use for all my
rescues shots and checkups...but its going
to be expensive no matter what. they dont
do payment plans there and so far i have
paid everything up front
its killed us in the money part
i had 6 grand put away in the bank for
after the baby was born...but after
this...i have no idea how much will be
left
plus we have to get the car fixed
because as of right now im done with
rescueing until next summer after the baby
is born
i wanna focus on penut...and plus the baby
will be here in 10 weeks maybe sooner so i
think its time to slow down for a while
she goes back to the vet tomarrow again
if alls well and shes keeping her food
down they will take the cathader and IV
out of her leg...if she doesnt do well
tonight and doesnt respond and looses all
her stools then we dont have a choice but
to let her go...so far its ok though
she ate a special formula the vet gave her
twice mixed with a little chicken. and
she kept her antibiotics down and she took
kaeopectate for her diarea
i just hope hope hope she makes it through
this

no she didnt get ahold of anything
shes literally been by my side 24-7 since
the second i got her
she was sick from the beginning but the
ivermectin mads made it worse
basically she has no immune system right
now
loosing blood
dieare causing sever dehydration
the hook worm infestation
stress from moving from place to
place,thrown from a car and switched diets
caused this

Ivermectin did seem extreme. They could
have done a dip and used a lower dose med
to treat the worms and you might now have
been in this situation. I hope she feels
better!
And just so you know if the cause was a
sudden switch in diet it should clear up
in a few days.
