Yup.. another poopy post.
Starting this afternoon Bubba has severe diarrhea. It looks to have a tiny specks of blood in it and it's an odd orange color. When he poops it like someone turned on a tap, litterally. Not good.
So I called my vet and he recommended a bland diet of hamburger and oatmeal starting tomorrow, and no dinner for tonight. If anything changes over the weekend I'm to call emergency him and bring Bubba in. Blood=vet visit right?! I just figured I'd need to bring him in immediately. Although usually he does a stool sample, finds nothing and gives me Metrodonize(sp) and send me on my merry way. I do trust my vet.. and we have been through this before so maybe I'm just over-reacting?
He's not lethargic, he's running around with Lola as I type and he's drinking normally. He's not too happy that he's missed dinner either.
I looks like the California Natural is a NO go. I don't know if I even want to attempt to put him back on it.
Although I could make a much slower switch this time. That food is much more calorie dense than the Eagle Pack. Maybe it's just too rich for him.
I decided to go and look for slippery elm and the store was out, go figure. I have to wait until they get their shipment in.
But I did find that yogurt culture stuff, it begins with an L. I don't have the bottle down here. LOL It's suppose to help with the 'good bacteria' in the digestive tract. Anyone know if that will help in the meantime?
