recent vomiting and light blood in diarreah stool

jake

Hello, our 12 week old puppy has had diarrhea for the past three days. We think it started from him eating the some of our other two adult dog's food. We bought some anti-diarrhea liquid which has kaolin and pectin and his stool turned alot more solid and partly white, which is the color of the liquid. We gave him boiled chicken with rice last night and he ate it no problem, but threw it up about 1 1/2 hour later. This morning his diarrhea was back with light blood in it, and he has no appetite. He doesnt't want to eat the chicken and rice. He has been drinking some water and his nose is moist- it was dry last night. Any suggestions before taking him to the vet?

Symptoms: No Appetite & Anorexia, Vomiting, Diarrhea

  No, I really think he should see a vet at this stage especially because he is so young. I think you have tried all you can at home. Is he vaccinated?

  Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks

  Yes, he's had his first set of shots. Took Jake to the vet yesterday. It's PARVO: (We had him hospitalized there and getting treatment, I hope he will make it through. So far he is taking the medication and the IV fluids very well his vomiting isn't getting worse and the doc says he seems more active than yesterday. With your past experience what do you think are the chances he can make it through? Thanks for the help

  I think that you have caught it early which is really important. He needs to be treated quite aggresively with antibiotics and IV fluids and hopefully he should pull through. I get good outcomes with most of my parvo patients so please let me know if you have any questions. good luck, David.
