Puppy with diarrhea
Hello, my almost 4 month old poodle has been having a bout of diarrhea. Here is the whole timeline:
-7 days ago I noticed she had loose stool. I fasted her for 1 day and her stool retuned to normal the next day.
-5 days ago her loose stool returned, she was waking up in the middle of the night to go outside. Squatting multiple times. We gave her pumpkin with her usual kibble she has been on since we brought her home. She was sleeping through the night but her stool was still loose.
-2 days ago, she was up again, squatting multiple times all over the yard during the night. Her poop had mucous in it. At this point I said no more guessing time for vet.
-yesterday I took her to the emergency vet where her vitals were fine, they put her on a universal dewormer and psyllium husk powder to firm her stool. They ran a fecal sample for Giardia, and a standard parvo test. We are still awaiting results from testing. We have been administering meds per the doctor’s orders.
-last night she needed to go out every hour, and vomited multiple times. Throughout she has seemed happy, is still playing, her virals were fine at the vet and she is drinking lots of water and eating.
I’m basically just worried about what to do next. I don’t want to keep playing with her diet, but wondering if I should switch her over to ground lamb and rice for a while? Bring her back to the vet? What do you guys think?
