Tell me about Clostridium
Over a month ago on a Friday night, Roxy started having bad diarrhea and I was up with her all night long. The vet was booked solid that Saturday, so they had me bring in a stool sample rather than make an appointment. They said she had Clostridium Perfringens and gave me prescription ID and a week of Metronidazole. While it helped firm it up a little, it remained soft. I took her to see the doctor when there was an available appointment, but I felt like she did not do well answering my questions. Anyway, next they tried a week of Metronidazole with 3 days of Panacur, which didn't take care of the problem either. After that, they had her on another week of Metronidazole again with 2 weeks of Tylan Powder. It got a lot more firm, but not like it was originally before this all started. We ran out and I waited a few days to see if it would remain firm on just the ID that she has remained on. It did not. I called the vet and got more Tylan Powder. It has been a couple days and is back to soft. Is this normal? I've never dealt with clostridium before and I am not sure why it has been so hard to get rid of. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
