Updates on Kuma…
Ok…so to make a long story short, despite chicken, rice and oatmeal…she continued to have diarrhea throughout the week. I was starting to get worried and I called our emergency clinic Friday night and they told me that they could give her something for the diarrhea- but would refer me to out vet on Monday.
Really upset about this I called my breeder Saturday morning and after trying to go over everything, she said it sounded as if she had picked up a parasite or something at some point. Because she had a clean stool sample at 12 she figured it had been recently but I insisted I couldn’t think of anywhere she would have been to have picked up something.
THEN…during the conversation I mentioned taking her TO THE DOG PARK and the breeder immediately stopped me and reminded me I went to A DOG PARK.
About 30 dogs and no one was checking for current vaccinations, etc. So…its very possible she picked something up at the DOG PARK! This IS the only place she has been around other dogs or their stools...thats why we went.
She further suggested Kaopectate (Sp?) which really seemed to have helped and by Saturday night her stools were beginning to return to normal. (Keeping fingers crossed!) Yesterday she had normal stools all day and actually acted like she felt much better.
I wonder if she did just pick up something?? Anyway…not to further complicate things I also put her on the Canidae….so we will see.
