Diarrhea

Ok then, as i mentioned here couple times already we have 8 weeks old Beagle puppy. We brought her in one week ago and last Thursday found worm in her poo. Gave her pill and she got clean out of worms by this Monday.

But now we have another problem - diarrhea. It started same day we gave her worming pill (last Thursday). Since then it have been one week and it is still the same. First of all we gave her dry food Royal Canin (our vet gave it too us). Then we switched to chicken/rise for a couple days which made no difference.

Her poo sometimes like a water and she goes toilet quite often. Sometimes in her poo very light blood spots (not dark blood but very light). We spoke with specialist and she advised us that it can happen when one of the capillars in her anus is broken.

Anyway, we brought her to the vet yesterday who measured temperature and everything is fine. Also she gave us different Royal Canin food in cans (chicken/rise) and Pro-Kolin squeesable cream which should help our puppy. We gave it twice to her yesterday with new food, but she still spent all night suffering from diarrhea. Same this morning.

Otherwise our puppy is very-very lively, plays a lot and bites, eats like a grown horse and always hungry. It doesn't seems like she ill or something. Did anyone had same experience before? Our vet told us to bring her in again tomorrow if she will still have diarrhea, but also told us that it doesn't seems like infection or something

By the way, tonight puppy pooed in her crate, we cleaned it but since this moment she done the same two more times. I believe this is due to the fact she can still sence the smell and i will re-clean it one more time.

Any advises? What can it be?

Thanks

Re: Diarrhea

I think you are right to follow your vet's advice. If you had not already taken the pup to the vet I would have been concerned about parvo (blood in diarrhea is a sign).
Get well soon, little one.

PS If you use dilute solution of bio washing powder that will get the smell out of the crate.

Re: Diarrhea

As your dog is still only a young pup maybe the food you are feeding is causing the upsets. When I got my dog we fed him weetabix with goats milk and rice pudding. Some pups are stiil sucking at their food and don't chew things very well.

Re: Diarrhea

Dont give milk based food as said before , cows milk isnt good for dogs , goats milk is fine or you can make cladda which is normal milk on the turn you leave it at room temperature and shake air into it every couple of hours , it thikens and is fine at this point to give to young dogs ,
But avoid anything like this till tummy is better .
Our Daisy was the same for a couple of months when we got her at 8 weeks , it was trial and error till it was eventually got sorted , it turned out to be food intollerance .
We ended up clearing it up by feeding Royal Canin as you are on the advice of the vet , only we had the hypoallergenic dry food that is based on soya protien . My advice to you is be carefull you dont go trying anything food wise stick to the food she is on and nothing else no treats nothing ,Beagles are very food orientrated and can get fat quickly if you give in to their demands for food as they get older .
Do you know what the breeder was feeding before you bought the dog ??

Couple months??? And how long did it take since you started giving your puppy right food till it fixed her health? Because it's friday, it had been 36 hours since we started giving her Pro-Kolin and new food but she is still having same problem...

Re: Diarrhea

I have always found scrambled egg is good for binding the stomach, it's a light meal too...

Re: Diarrhea

It took about a week each day got a bit better , if it is a food intollerance there will be no quick fix , its the same as humans suffering with irritable bowl syndrome , sometimes you need to just be patient , and let the new food do the trick , i must say though we tried the canned royal canin to start with that didnt work after a week so thats when we were asked to put her on the hypoallergenic food ,
She could only stay on it for about 6 weeks cos being a pup she needed more from her food than the hypo food was going to give her long term , but once she was fine we weened her off the royal canin very slowly over a period of about 10 days onto royal canin labrador junior , she did well on this .
