Hi sorry for the miserable first thread:blush2: but here goes-
I collected Ted my frenchie on May 2nd from the breeder at 11 weeks old, he was fully vaccinated and wormed which was all documented and held within the paperwork I received with Ted.
His 2 vaccinations were Vanguard and for distemper, hepitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and leptospirosis whch I guess are just standad in the UK.
He had been fed Royal Canin 4/8ths three times a day which I carried on doing when he got home.
His toilet habits took some working out but basically he would eat then sleep for a couple of hours and then need to toilet, he would defecate three times about 5 minutes apart with the odd poop thrown in to fool me
He would also do one on his daily walk, I would also let him out before bedtime which could be has late as midnight so effectively he could be doing in excess of 15 or 16 poops per day.
hmy:
About 6 days after he moved in I noticed after each of his toilet cycles his first poop had shape albeit a little sticky, his second was slightly wetter and his third was more like mucus/bile with a hint of light red (blood). So I got him to the vets on the 14th May firstly to register him and secondly to check his loose stools.
The vet said it could be a little colitis or even a little upset with his move, he was weighed and tipped the scales at 4.7kg (10lb 14oz) she also gave him a course of Kaogel to take with two of his meals per day. Sadly after 5 days his stools became looser and blood was showing in all of his fesces with the third one being mainly blood!
I took him back to the vet (different person) and he gave him an injection of Dexadreson and Clamoxyl and he also told me to fast him for 24 hours then go onto boiled rice for 24 hours. Ted came home and basically laid next to me from 6 in the evening to 6.30 in the morning it really knocked him out I had to carry him out to toilet and wipe his backside has there was traces of blood.
The next morning he was more lively infact almost normal but wouldn’t drink so I dipped my fingers in his bowl which he licked, obviously this was not enough so got him back to the vets, he said he was going to IV him his fluids but after seeing Ted he said I could try giving him ‘Lectade®’ basically glucose because he looked quite lively which he was/is, always playing and just being a puppy and a pleasure to have
when I got him back to work he drank the lot down in one and ever since he as been fine and drinking plenty, the boiled rice meals have turned into 48 hours now but with some chicken (vets advice) with this evening being his first dog food meal (different type- Burns).
Unfortunately the diarrhea still persists but maybe this is because of lots of water and only rice and chicken? Plus he is scraping his bum after toilet and there is still evidence of blood remaining in his fesces albeit not as bad but certainly evident.
I do apologise for going on but I’m very worried about Ted although he is active and playful, sleepy, funny and loving I know he is not right inside so I was wondering if anyone can give me any tips or info I can go armed with to my vets.
Cheers, Teds dad.
