Paralyzed dog with constant diarrhea
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:01 pm
Hello,
A few months back we adopted a paralyzed pup from Asia (we’re from Minnesota). We believe she was hbc. She was about 7 months old when we got her and has had diarrhea since. We have done every test we can think of (blood work, biopsy, fecals, EPI). She had giardia which we treated and is now negative and biopsy of intestine only showed inflammation. We have tried diet changes with pumpkin, chicken and rice, z/d, other types of kibble. We’ve had her on pred, metranidazole, trylosin, panacur, right now we have her on fluoxetine and Imodium per neurologist. Nothing is helping. I don’t know what else to do. It is very frustrating and time consuming dealing with this. And I feel so terrible for her. I’m wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this and could give me any tips or advice? Thank you.
