Sick little Moglee

[Mogleebear]

^^That's exactly what it was. Coccidia. We've been vigorously cleaning all his mess. I just prepared his bland diet and he gobbled that all down.

I'm going to tag the experts now that you've mentioned the parasite. I must say again, that it really is a good sign that Moglee's eating.

Well so glad you took him to the vet and treating him for it. Hoping for a fast recovery.

I can not help here, but hoping everything turns out good for you and Moglee.

For Coccidia I used Albon and Fish Zole when they were pups. Ask your vet about the Fish Zole, most have never heard of it. Google "Fish Zole for Dogs" you'll find a bunch of stuff. One pill = 1 dose of the Fish Zole, I got at a fish store, within one week they were clear of it. I used Clorox wipes on the floor an in the crates. and then put clean blankets everyday in each crate. It's common in puppies. But a pain to keep everything almost sterile.

I don't have experience with this but I really, really hope he is feeling better soon!

Clorox wipes and nearly sterile sleeping & playing areas, CHECK. Another fecal test & smear were completed at the Vet and now he's been DX with a train of Clostridium. The Vet didn't explain which strain and when I took note of that, I became pretty alarmed. I've had plenty of experiences with patients in the hospital that had C.Diff (Clostridium Difficile) and that's a nasty bug. Along with the Albon 125mg/day, he's now on Flagyl (Metronidazole; we use this stuff Pre-operatively all the time!) and Purina's FORTIFLORA as a probiotic.

Fish Zole and Metronidazole are one in the same.

Little Moglee getting some prayer's today too. sending prayers your way for strength. I know how frustrating this can be. I had a litter of 11 that had Coccidia, and I had always kept everything spotless, it just happens sometimes.

My guess (a guess since I work with human patients) is secondary to the initial antiobiotics. Moglee is in my thoughts!!

 

[kazzy220]

I do hope he is feeling a little better now ... I'll be thinking of you both!!!

 

[Mogleebear]

Thanks for all the prayers and advices. Yeah, he's taking the flagyl with food. He's still playful as ever and I hope that this course of treatment will be the one to cure it.

Just checking in to see how Moglee is feeling....I really hope the Meds work for him....sounds like you've got things under control....

 

[Mogleebear]

Just finished playing outside with the little guy; his energy is still off the charts. Still waiting to see what his stool looks like and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh the joys of following your bully around just to see what consistency his is!!!!!
