Lucy's diarrhea has gotten significantly worse-- she had a large quantity
of liquid diarrhea 5 times today. She also vomited up the raw food that
I syringed her, about 5 hours after she ate it. She is purry and able to
go up and down stairs, but a bit out of it. I will call the vet in the
am as soon as they open. Please send her energy, prayers, etc.
I gave her about 100 ml of fluids this morning. Do you think I should
give her more? I am not force-feeding her any more today and have
removed all food, hoping that by fasting her for 12-18 hours it will stop the
diarrhea. This has worked for her before, and is recommended on a lot of
websites.
I have to believe this is from the antibiotics, as she had been doing
well before getting the URI and going on antibiotics, and on day 4 of clavamox
she suddenly went from completely solid stools to complete liquid, with no
in-between. I am assuming that it happened from accumulated effect of
the clavamox. I am hoping, anyway. Probiotics did not nothing, and may have
made her worse, as she is worse today than she was yesterday.
If anyone has any thoughts about whether or not I should give her more
fluids, please let me know. Otherwise, I am not giving her anything else
tonight, will talk to the vet in the morning and plan to fast her, and then
will see if she will eat some cooked turkey with fiber powder mixed in (her
usual fare is cooked turkey with fiber and bone meal and taurine, E, and B
vitamins mixed in).
I am quite worried about her. Last night, despite having had
diarrhea in the morning, she was very perky and playful, and this morning came
running to see me in the morning. She has declined through the day with
increased diarrhea. She likes me to pet her, and she purrs a lot, but is
pretty wiped out. As I guess would be expected from diarrhea and
vomiting.
Thanks,
Michelle
