So, Armin has been sick pretty much since we got him. At first, it was a horrible URI, so he was put on amoxi-drops and an eye cream. Now it's diarrhea that doesn't want to go away.
We took him to the vet last week Thursday, and she told us that the antibiotics threw his bacteria out of whack. They didn't find any evidence of worms or parasites. We left with a bottle of Albon and FortFlora to get his system back to normal.
He seems like he's getting better. He's gaining some of the weight back, he doesn't seem dehydrated, and he's more active now. But he still has the diarrhea. Granted, it isn't the water mess it was, it has a little more bulk to it, but he still has it.
I'm getting frustrated. It's not the money, well, a little of it is, I just want him to get better. It isn't fair that we can't figure out what's wrong. Does anyone have a clue as to what's wrong? If this doesn't get better, I'm asking for a referral to UW Vet Hospital in Madison.
