several weeks ago, my 1 y/o male pit/lab mix, Manu, came down with
frequent, very liquid stool. my vet determined this to be caused by the bacteria, clostridium. he prescribed amoxicillin and a smooth muscle relaxant, which seemed to work. near the end of his treatment, my 1 y/o female APBT, Lola, came down with similar symptoms, and was treated with the same medications. this treatment also seemed to work well. about a week after Lola's treatment ended, Manu came down with it again, and was treated with the same medications. he's about a week into his treatment, and once again, Lola has diarrhea and mild vomiting. my concern is this, are they passing this back and forth between them? is there anything we can do to help this? we've cleaned their bedding thoroughly, sanitized their food and water dishes, and are bathing them both regularly. what can we do to stop this cycle? i'm concerned that my vet keeps prescribing amoxicillin. is it possible the bacteria are becoming resistant to it? the other question is, today, Lola's diarrhea looked milky, almost like a very thin custard in it's color and consistency. i've never seen stool look like this before. does anyone know what could cause it? we have another vet appt this afternoon. They both eat California Natural Chicken and Rice, and Lola's is supplemented with Salmon Oil for her skin. thanks, -kelly |
