Ruby has been sick since last thursday. She's had constant runs and has been drinking alot of water. I called my vet and they told me to put her on a bland diet of bioled chicken and rice. She didn't get any better and actually got worse. I took her to the vet on Wednesday and they had to test her stool. I called today but the results still are not back yet. She's still playing and eating normal.

Has any had problems like this before? HELP!!

Since this is Friday, do not let the vet staff go home for the weekend, before you know what is wrong. Keep calling every so often. Have you tried 1/4 tsp. of Pepto Bismol. That's what Mag's vet recommends when the runs don't slow down. Once you can get the bowel slowed down, then the food will stick to her better.

sorry to hear about ur baby.
i have experience with this and usually the vet would give u an antibiotic to help settle his tummy... i was also told to give KAOPETCATE 1 ml twice a day until stool comes back to normal.. i would give it right after his bfast and then another after dinner ...but the rice and chicken should work.
gl keep us posted

yeah Annie had this problem once. She's always eating things she shouldn't but this one time we just couldn't get the diarrhea to stop. The vet gave her antibiotics and some diarrhea pills. It lasted for a week or so... Vet just think she ate some paper or something. And I do believe at the time she had tore up her wee wee pad!

She is much older and wiser now

Charlie had diarhea a few weeks ago. The vet told me to put him on boiled rice and hamburger. And give him liquid Immodium Ad after every time he had a loose BM. It worked like a charm. He was back to himself in no time

chachi · 07-08-2005, 09:39 AM

I am sorry to hear about your baby. I am surprised your vet didn't go ahead and give him some keopectate or something for the diahrea.. Hopefully he will soon.

jwash · 07-08-2005, 12:43 PM

My vet tells me results within hours, not days. I'd drive them crazy, you don't want this baby to get sicker. Call the vet and think about changing to one who specializes in toy breeds. They could have easily given you an "in the meantime" remedy.

JCarlson2004 · 07-08-2005, 12:45 PM

Please make sure your baby gets enough water and vitamins because he can get severely dehydrated/sick.

TJ has diarrhea again. I caught him eating the wall. I am giving him boiled chicken and rice. The Vet told once that I could give him immodium, of course I can't find the paper where I wrote down how much and it is Saturday and after the Vet hours. Does any one know how much (in terms of cc) do I give him. He is just over 5 months and weighs 3.3 lbc. THANKS!!!

chachi · 07-09-2005, 02:45 PM

When Chachi had diahrea the vet had me give 3ccs of keopectate. So I imagine it would be the same with the Imodium.

TLC · 07-09-2005, 02:48 PM

OH Great! I will give it to him now. Me and TJ thank you :-)

chachi · 07-09-2005, 02:50 PM

Your welcome! I hope TJ feels better soon!

A few weeks ago Zoe had diarrhea for 4 days. The vet had me stop feeding her for 24 hours, then gave Hill's Prescription diet, which was chicken and rice. Her fecal was ok. She had chocolate milk runs for 4 solid days. After I stopped feeding her, she had one stool with liquid around it, all good after that!

Did you find out what caused it?

Marie · 07-09-2005, 07:22 PM

Im so sorry that Ruby is sick with the runs. Please contact your vet for the results. When Gucci was sick with diarrhea the vet prescribed her some antibiotics, gave me some nutrical and told me to give her some boil rice and chicken. She got better in a couple of days. Your baby is being sick almost a week so keep an eye on her not to get dehydrated. I hope Ruby start feeling better soon. Please keep us posted.
