Poor Lola. limp is gone! but now she's had diarrhea for 4 days. She was crated for a few days to rest for her limp. Friday (day 3 of crating) we both had to work, so she spent the day in the crate alone. Maybe that caused some stress. When Ben got home from work, she had diarrhea like 3 times that evening. We fed her raw patty as usual AND i gave her the first dose of NSAIDs from the vet for her limp. This drug, metacam, can cause diarrhea but she already had it before first dose. Her second dose was saturday night with raw patty again.
Friday all night, saturday all night were both every two hours outside to poop. Went from pure water to runny pudding. She has been on bland diet (rice and baked tilapia) for 4 meals so far, three (Sunday twice and this morning) with a spoonful of pumpkin. Last night, she only had to go out at 4am and 8am this morning; Her poops have been slightly less frequent, and slightly less like water. But she is drinking water, eating food, and wanting to play like normal. And there has been no vomiting, so I am thinking it probably isn't an obstruction. Plus there was nothing but her mat, blankets, peanut butter, and a deer antler in the crate with her. She is straining when she poops, so maybe something is in there that needs to come out. I really don't know.
We are happy that she is not limping, and have stopped the NSAID treatment after two doses because of the diarrhea. But hubby and I leave in a few days and our friend is house/dog sitting. I'd like to have Lola feeling better before that life changing event.
