Gone to the Vet
Sunny just got home from a vet visit. He's been having diarrhea for almost 3 weeks now. Other than that he is one happy puppy, he plays with me like nothing is wrong with him. At first mum and dad thought he only had some kind of stomach irritation, so they gave him pepcid-AC and then pepto after few days of no progress. We have been feed with Eukanuba Bites and Gravy and Chunk's in Gravy (included in the pet food recall) but mum slowed down giving it to us since she noticed that we don't care about it that much. She turned into Eukanuba dry food mixed with chiken white meat.
The other night, mum stumbled upon a news online about a Food Recall and Eukanuba is one of them. Dad called the vet right away and scheduled for appointment. They didn't have vacant slot until today @ 3:50PM. Mum stopped feeding us the dry food and switched us to boiled rice and chicken, and on occassion cottage cheese. Sunny's poo turned yellow-ish but still soft. The Vet found Sunny had infection after doing a fecal flotation. He is in medication at the moment - Drontal Plus (dewormer), Metronidazole (Flagyl) an antibiotic, he is also taking Bene-Bac pet gel, a source of live naturally occuring microorganisms. Hopefully he should be OK within 2 days.
Here are the Eukanuba included in the pet food recall:

In the meantime, dad is wondering if I should be taken to the vet too since I have also consumed those recalled foods. I don't have any kind of symptoms. No vomiting, diarrhea, lithargy or whatsoever. The only problem I have is....I don't really like to eat. Most of the time Mum have to beg me to eat....what do you think?

Oh no! We sure hope you guys are going to be okay. I heard on the news today that they found rat poison in the food and the company doesn't know how the heck it got there. Sorry to hear that you had to go to the meanie (vet). Get well soon. As for the food, keep tryin' different ones. That's what my Mom had to do with me 'cause I wouldn't eat anything either. Then she found something that I would finally eat. Good luck with that, k?

When Pearly had diarrhea, I would give her some apple sauce, 100% pumpkin, some steam chicken breast and recently went to a holistic pet store and they give me this powder and liquid for her and amazingly it worked. I would say, most dog food brand, all :P , like iams, euk at those supermarket or big whole sale stores aren't too healthy for dogs.
Wow that must have been a scare!
