Need Some Information And Help-could It Be?

[The 3 Musketeers]

Hi All

Its been awhile since i was on this forum,but now have problem with our pup.

We have been to the vets twice this week,with Mia having runny poos.

It had started sunday night,I had given her a lambs ear ,but i think she also stole our other dogs food as well?Do you think,lambs ears,pig noses and ears also Roo kidney can cause upset stomach.

Mia is 10 months and weighs 3.8kg hasnt lost any weight,not vomiting,still running around,playing with Abbey(abbey not sick)no temp,heart fine.

The vets have now put mia on Amoxyclav,Ensal,and was also gven injection today of Noroclav.

I had starved her for 24hrs, before re going back to vets,then started her on small amounts of boiled chicken and rice,but this hasnt helped at all.

I can only come up with the food I brought from markets,that has caused Mia to have the runs.

If any one has given their dogs these kind of food,Have you had any problems with them????

Also Mia cant eat Good Os as their to strong for her stomach as well.

Im still worried,even after the vets visit today,because she runs and poos as she goes,and last night i must of been up about 10 times,changing the puppy training pads,I know she trys to make it each time,but it just comes out to fast for her to make it , i dont get mad,Im just scared and have also now put heaps of the puppy mats around the house,so she can try and get their before it lands on the carpet.

Any help or information would be greatful

Vets these days don't usually prescribe antibiotics for diahorrea.

They tend to depend on you withholding the food for the first 24hours and then gradually introducing small meals of a bland diet, like the chicken & rice.

Do you know why they have treated her with this medication? Is it more than just diahorrea?

I would keep her on the chicken & rice for at least 5 days but if it wasn't improving within 24hours I would be back at the vet again.

I guess she could be allergic to chicken, in that case you have to find another bland food to take its place, something without fat.

Edited to add: I would definitely be ensuring she doesn't get dehydrated - Lectade is good for that.
