I was afraid of this. Last night and then this AM the runny diarrhea returned. So, I called the vet clinic AGAIN today. I mentioned the Giardia, but they don't think that is what it is, but they were willing to give some antibiotics for it just to see. (The antibiotics that he is on now would not fight Giardia.) I'll pick them up after work. They also want to give him some IAMS dog food that is specifically made for problems with diarrhea. I don't like IAMS, but I feel he needs something after 2 weeks of rice. They ask me what type of food he has been on, and they've never heard of Solid Gold. (Wellness, or anything else other than IAMS or Science Diet!) What is up with the ignorance on food?
I also probably pissed the clinic off because I asked to see another vet. The last visit was with a "new grad" (I think) and he didn't even know Turner was a Newf....just mentioned he looked sort of like the dog that won the Westminster! Right then my heart sank. My other visits have been with other vets and I have always been very happy with them. So, today I requested to speak with another vet. I hate doing stuff like that because I know they have to learn......but just not on my dog! Ha!
