update on hope vet #3 today after mini seizures

[Ann]

I have not heard of Innova causing digestive problem in puppies ever. I fed their puppy food to all my dogs but Pixie, who had to have California Natural because of her gastric problems.

However, your plan to go with chicken and puppy formula is a good one...except pick up a box of Gerber's Infant Rice baby food in the supermarket...it looks like little flakes when you pour it into the bowl and you mix it with some warm water and the formula and your chicken breast. You'll find it in the aisle with the baby food jars. That is how we feed the puppies when they're first weaned from their mom, so it would be the best thing for her.

If you continue to see any blood at all in her stool, she needs to see the vet asap. It could be worms (for which they'll need to test a fecal sample so she is treated for the right kind of worms) or another gastric problem that she might need meds for.

Thank you so much!!!!! ya know I guess after dealing with my hypoglycemia that i was told i was having anxiety attacks with, i kept researching and going with my instincts. and funny xantax made me feel good hell ya, but didnt do anythign when i was in convulsions, however sugar did. BINGO! too a severe convulsion drop which was right at 70 for them to catch it. i mean 70 and im convulsing and ready to pass out. after that i guess i realized you cant always trust dr's. so why would i think i could trust a vet, they are about the same. i used instincts and alot of realization that i didnt put her down cuz like i said before i knew it wasnt what they said. not one vet told me to watch her food. when her grand mal type siezures stopped and they crazy turrets seizures started and the itching, and head twitching, it made me stop and think, if i use certain soaps i itch like crazy, if i dont have enough sugar i shake and get a little bit mean (my supervisor found that out at walmart several years ago when i cussed her out saying all sorts of nasty cuss words, she looked at me with her mouth dropped and said um ok go get sugar, cuz its not how i normally am).. so with all that in mind i decided to change food, i dont know maybe just from exp. myself, course the vet never said that, lets give her really serious drugs that could affect her life instead. sure enough it was the food. jake never went through any of these, i mean i have seen him get in my macaws cage to try to eat their food, got some pooped green, but nothing like what is going on with hope.. im still in a state of disbelief out of everything that has happened with this little girl in the 6 days i have had her, i mean seriously 6 freaking days is all its been! so bottom line, she is eating straight out chix breast now, and i noticed from her yucky bloody diarrhea early to after the chix she is back to mushy stool. normal looking mushy puppy looking stool i guess you can say. no more innova, i fed her some of the bac stuff that i got today (thank you special friend). she will get normal soon, just trying to get her system back to normal and finding the right food now for her. its really amazing how you can totally love something/one so much in 6 days! I guess i cant say listen to your instincts 100%.. when we left that er i looked at my roommate and i said it doenst feel right, i dont think she has a liver issue, it doesnt feel right. when i gt out of my van to pick her up to take her back to the breeder ilooked at him and said, she is gonna live, she is gonna be ok, as crazy as that sounds, she is going to be ok. and she is because of my gut instincts!

My last sheltie would get seizures from the food he was on as well. My vet, who is holistic, brought it to my attention right away. Since we changed his food, he was fine. We knew it was the food, because when I was away, my mom bought him the old food, and within a week, he had another seizure. So yes, preservatives and chemicals can cause seizures.
My yard and house are 100% chemical free, no bleach, no detergents, just organic products and Norwex, and my two shelties are on a raw diet, so I know what they are eating.

I hope your little one will be OK. She is so cute!

THANKS Ann! so far since i got her off the Innova, no bloody stool. and it was a very small bit now i think. i cleaned up diarrhea off the floor, and when i went to wipe up the last remaining bit there was a little bit of dark red. i looked on the original paper towel and i didnt see any red, so im not sure what to think. so far she just had the mushy light brown soft stool.

thats a good idea bout the baby rice, then i dont have to cook much!! yeah!
