Off to the Vets

Elaine · 10-09-2008, 04:04 PM

Ok just back from vets, had to take both Eva and Bernie as Bernie now has the runs too

They have both had a long lasting antibiotic injection, have got more B vits and some pro kolin.
I have decided to confine both to the kitchen when we are in bed and out at work to limit any further mess.
Off now to organise the kitchen for them.
Fingers crossed they will both dry up over night now.

Sorry to hear that, Elaine. Hope they both start improving soon.....

oh Elaine. I am so feeling for you chum, having been where you are. When Teddie was like this I was told to starve her for 24 hours, then introduce a little white fish and plain rice for the next, then slowly re introduce her normal food. But she was also given metronidazole for the suspected giardia. Is there any chance this could be the problem with Eva?

I dont know Alex tbh, I am not all that clued up on Guardia but there is definately something coz Bernie now has the runs, G isnt feeling to great and i havent been too hot either. For me, I was putting my sicky feeling down to the constant cleaning of poo and lack of sleep.

I am so sorry Elaine. Poor you and poor cats - presumably it's a bug of some sort.

How awful for you (all). Has this been a long running thing with her? Just a thought that I meant to post earlier, maybe not relevant now that bernie upset too.

I had a dog who was intolerant of animal protien. It resulted in runny poos then solid once on antibiotics or when I changed diet, then back to runny poos again.

She ended up being fed chicken/rice/pasta based diets. But avoided stronger feeds. - just a thought.

Hope it all turns out.

Hi CM and thanx for your post, I dont think its a food intolerance tbh. Eva does sometimes get upset easily and when she gets upset she gets the runs. This time though I think its a bug rather than stress related.

No worries - finger crossed the long acting antibiotics work.

Sorry to hear Bernie has got this bug too....... must be awful for both you and G to cope with, not feeling too good yourselves....

Hope the ABs kick in and things improve soon....

Well the good news is that there was no poo puddles this morning

but then again they didnt eat much yesterday. Just doing some chicken for them for this morning.
We put them both in the kitchen over night and there wasn't a peep out of them.
Fingers crossed that the AB's have done the trick and they will be right as rain again.
