GI concerns and massive vet bill
Hi all! I’d really appreciate any help on the matter, I’m kind of at a loss. 2 ish weeks ago I took my Husky (~3 yo, Female) into the vet for green discharge from the eye. No biggie, needed eye drops. She ended up noticing that her anal glands needed to be decompressed, and asked abt her stool. Right before going, we had changed her food over between flavours. Her poops had been soft for a few weeks, but shortly after the food change her poops turned green. Abnormal for her fs. The vet immediately assumed it was stomach inflammation and/or Giardia and gave us a large enough dose of antibiotics to treat both “just incase” (she’s 150lbs lol). Suddenly we have a $500 vet bill with NO WARNING.
About 6/10 days into the antibiotics, I noticed her poop was almost a mousse like rubbery texture and yellow. I called the vet just to ask, and never got a call back (understandable, things happen). Well it’s now 4 days off of the antibiotics, and she’s having diarrhea and it’s green AGAIN. She doesn’t have a problem holding it tho, she’s acting completely normal, eating and drinking, but I’m concerned they just assumed without tests before and it’s a completely different issue now and I rlly can’t afford to take her in with that kind of price tag again. Any thoughts?
To add: we changed her to a (RLLY EXPENSIVE) low fat food while on the antibiotics, and my bf used the last of it on the final day. So to get her back on her regular food, we’ve been doing 2 cups white rice, 1 cup chicken, and ~.75 cup of her kibble, PLUS the purina one fortiflora powder in her food (which we’ve done the whole time). I rlly don’t think this is the cause, but just for context. I come from a family that doesn’t believe in the vet (besides the necessary ofc), so this is all rlly new to me and I’m trying my best to be trusting lol.
