I know, charming isn't it?
But we have been having a little problem lately.
Kokoda got QUITE sick last week and the poor little thing had a really nasty bout of diarrhea. It was a bit like poor Brooklyn not that long ago.
I have never had a dog get this sick in the stomach.
We were in the car when it first struck, he was in his crate and was whining i just thought he was excited to be in the car, but then i smelt it... we pulled over and the poor thing had it everywhere all over his crate and him :yuk:. So I found some baby wipes in the car and used the remaining wipes, thank god they were there! (Now i think about it i need to get some more! You never know when you'll need them) And i cleaned him up and took him home.
I had to put all his blankets into the wash and I had to wash him. I didn't feed him, but he still drank which was why i thought he'd be fine in the morning. He wasn't. i called the vet and she just said to watch hima nd to bring him in if it gets worse. It didn't get worse, but it didn't get better either..
So he had really bad diarrhea for 3 days but was still drinking, and happy to eat, we just fed him tiny amounts of white rice and chicken. On the third day he wasn't even looking sick, he was much better than on the other two.
And then after that he was fine. I was feeding him pasta, rice and chicken. With a weetbix in the morning as well, as one of my friends said it helped her dog. He got better and I walked outsidfe and his poop was solid (yay!) so I started switching him back to his normal food. And now, today, 3 days of being on his normal food it has started again!
Though definitely nowhere near as bad, i just walked outside and saw a few runny bits on the lawn. I have no idea what could be causing it. I originally thought treats, but he hasn't had any of them lately, and then I thought maybe the cat biscuits? But we had the cat niscuits on the table so he couldn't reach them for 2 of the 3 days he had it. Do you think this could still be it?
He is 9 months old (almost 10!) and eats a raw diet and has been doing so successfully for about 2 months now. (meat patties, bones and ziwipeak)
We don't feed him from the table, so No one has given him anything he shouldn't have eaten.
Also, the other thing, is that he has had a lot of wind lately, and it doesn't smell too good either!
And he knows it! So does anyone have any experience with charcoal tablets or something else with a similar effect?
I am hoping you guys have some suggestions and that i haven't forgotten anything!
