Finally an answer to Neos icky tummy. Its been going on since we got him home, most of his litter apparently had a slight tummy bug so we put the diarrhoea down to that and also the stress of leaving the litter and going to a new home.
A week on and it hadn't cleared up so he was taken to the vets twice and given antibiotic injections which seemed to help for a day but then the diarrhoea returned.
On Monday we took a sample to the vet (yuk!) and the results were in today. He was due for his 2nd Jab today so hubby took him down for jab and results.
It seems he has rather too much E.Coli in his gut which is causing an inflamed stomach lining, apparently all dogs have a small amount. We're now just waiting for some more tests to see what strain it is and which antibiotic to use, fingers crossed they will be available by Monday.
Thankfully the vet still gave him his jab, I was worried it would have to be put on hold and it would be another few weeks before he could go out, poor thing is starting to get bored in the house and garden and the cat is getting just a little frustrated at being barked at!
Hes also allowed to go back onto his normal puppy food so we'll reintroduce that slowly over the next few days, hes eating like a horse at the moment, polishing his bowl and asking for more, looks like a little barrel after a meal!!
Only a week to go before his first walk.
