Teddie


I wasn't going to post this, but I thought I should let you know that Teddie has gone very runny again. So much so that she has done her business in a few spots that she shouldn't have over the last few days. She is still very bright and playful, but something is obviously upsetting her tummy again . I'm going to speak to the vet on monday and see if he recommends tryingher on a different antibiotic. He did say that there was another they could try if the metronidazole didn't help. Also I'm going to see what he says about putting her onto the Hills id wet food,as I still believe her tummy finds it really hard to process dry food, even though that is what everyone says is the best thing for her to have. I know feeding her wet food would be a lot more expensive, but it would be worth a try don't you think? Maybe mixed with a little of the Hills id dry!

Re: Teddie


Oh Alex, you know that I know exactly what you are going through right now. I really hoped that Teddie had turned the corner and had started to improve. Do let us know what the vet says, I'd be interested to know which alternative antibiotic he recommends and in the mean time try and keep your chin up chum although I know how easy it is to say but not so easy to do
Big hugs to you and Teddie Alex x

Re: Teddie


Thanks all. It's just so damn frustrating! She has made such leaps forward and I'm petrified of her going back to the way she was, also having to watch where you step again isn't much fun either. The thing is that she's still so very bright and playful, so hopefully it will be easily stopped this time and back onto a good road!

Re: Teddie


Let's hope it's just a little set back Alex. With your new vet hopefully he'll be interested in expoloring a few more avenues with Teddie to see if this can be overcome.

Lots of love and luck.

Re: Teddie


Sorry to hear this Alex, I was really hoping you had turned the corner with Teddie
Maybe it's just a small 'hiccup', maybe she sneaked somthing to eat that she shouldn't have, maybe the warmer weather had something to do with it ........... lots of maybe's but I hope there is an easy answer to it

I hope the vet can get her back on the right road again... ((((hugs))))
