Zeke Still Not Doing Well :(


Recommended Posts

and we're back to soft poops again -- not the huge big D he had before, but the firmer poops aren't here now :( he just got his first Panacur dose this morning, and I'll give him 2 more and see how he's doing maybe a few days after that before putting him on strictly rice (or potato) and beef. I want to see if this round of worming does actually help. If I change the diet I won't know what worked. If he's still not too hot by Saturday we'll remove the kibble.

 

thankfully, he seems healthy, he's happy, playful (and on full-out squirrel alert ALL day today again) and otherwise healthy. His ribs look SLIGHTLY less pronounced so hopefully he's added another 1/2 pound.

Have you tried adding pepcid? Kebo was on 10mg twice daily for two weeks when he had stress colitis after his first surgery. He got better from that but then I noticed that all three of mine puked occasionally for one reason or another until I started them on 10mg of pepcid daily with breakfast. Now, no more pukes :)

yes -- we started giving him a Pepcid in the morning and knock on wood he's been better since :)

 

Kim, how is he doing today?

 

actually, his poops this morning was the best since bringing him home! :yay hopefully he keeps it up. He's still on 2 cups of Iam's Red Bag and a little oatmeal, taters, pumpkin and ground beef twice a day (he weighed in at 70.8 on Saturday (down from 71) and he's WAY too skinny still so I may up the food. I also started putting a pinch of cinnamon on his evening meal (someone here had said they used it for D) and I don't know if that is what helped with the better poop today or what :) Hopefully he keeps up the good work :)

 

I actually (finally!) got a job so I'm hoping he can be 100% ok so no accidents in the crate (they'll be crated 6 hours total, which is longer than he's had to go since bringing him home).

 

thanks for asking - and thanks for the advice and well wishes! I hope I don't have to come back and post here again! :hope

How relieved you must be! So glad to hear he is better, Kim.

 

But, you MUST come back and post again -- hopefully to tell us he's still doing great and putting on the lost weight.
