Antibiotics Finished - Now awful diarrhea!!
My poor Asher can't catch a break. We did a round of antibiotics for a UTI. Stopped on Thurs AM. Friday, stool started out solid but then "cow pie". Saturday, cow pie consistency each time. Today - it's worst than day 2 of his antibiotics. For those 10 days (after day 2), I had to add in rice and chicken to maintain a solid stool. I did 2/3 rice, 1/3 chicken , and I kept in 1 cup of his kibble x2 a day and he did great. Pooped two times a day, sometimes three and it was normal. (prior to treatment, he was up to 3.5-4 cups of kibble a day ). For the duration of the treatment, his stools were just fine. I still haven't gotten him back to his full kibble. Aftr Friday's poop performance, I didn't up the kibble and kept the ratio the same. We go in the morning for urine analysis follow up so I'll certainly see what the vet says. He's supposed to get his 16 week shots but I think I'll reschedule that for later in the week. This is all very frustrating. I just want him happy and healthy. I read an article that diarrhea can get worse upon completion of treatment. I want him back on his kibble so he can get the nutrients he needs. He's lost some weight too. Ugh! Anyone else experience this?
Still full of energy and driving Samson nuts! :-) And on a positive note, the UTI seems to be all clear (I sure hope). No more mishaps with peeing.
