Rebanne Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Leave him without any food for a full 24 hrs ...plenty of plain water though. then, try him on plain cooked chicken ..nothing else . just a little , a few times a day . See how he goes ..then try adding a bit of sweet potato ... take it slow ..and if he loses a bit of weight , but has no diarrhoea... then it's worth it :) agree, but I would also add in raspberry cordial.

ann21 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks guys. Would you recommended slippery elm or just to go cold turkey and do the fast for 24 hrs first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you are going to use raspberry cordial make sure its at least 35% fruit - hard to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann21 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you are going to use raspberry cordial make sure its at least 35% fruit - hard to find I can get fresh raspberries here. Any reason why you would use frozen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 unless it's a baby puppy ..24 hr fast is always first on the list! Then, after the gut is clean, and rested .. slowly introduce other things in teh way of food... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason why you would use frozen? Yep because I cant get them - fresh is good and much better if you can put them through a sieve and take out the lumpy bits if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I just heard back from the vets she said the only thing she can offer me is more antibiotics . I asked her about Giardia and she said they dont do tests for it but the antibiotics should help. Also told me to stop feeding raw although she doesnt think its an ecoli/samenolla infection. Sigh...I am quite reluctant to do another round of antibiotics especially since I thought it was what triggered his diarrhea in the first place?/ Odd that they don't test for giardia - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Persephone suggest just the chicken after the fast ? Your dog's tummy needs a break from all the different things you have been trying. You must be worried sick . Try to get your boy a bit settled and then perhaps seek out another vet, or a specialist. Although there are people like Persephone and Steve here on DOL whose knowledge and experience are vast.

Thanks Danny's Darling. I was abit flustered yesterday but yes the plan is to just feed boiled chicken tonight (he would have not eaten for 24 hrs) and see how he goes through the night/morning. I will then take it from there. There is another vet I have been recommended so I will go to him if my dogs diarrhea doesn't improve after a bit. Unfortunately there aren't many (if any) specialists in Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
