So yesterday he completed his 10 day course of azythromycin for URI and today he has diarrhea. Sorry for being graphic but his poop is brown and pretty soft - not watery, but not worked either. Being the digger he generally is, he did not cover the poop today.
There can be the following things I can think of:
1) coccidia - they found grade 1 7 days or so ago but he had no diarrhea and so the vet did not want to treat. I called the vet and they want me to wait and see if it's a one off thing and perhaps on Monday take a sample over, if things do not improve. This is provided Hobbes has NO other symptoms.
2) They've been on l-lysine 500mg for 10 days now. Is it too late to be sick from that?
3) 3 days ago I reintroduced dry food to their diet, since we had to stop dry food due to Calvin's tummy issues. They are on about 1/8-1/4 cup of Acana now. Hobbes does not eat much of that at all really. So could a little bit of new dry food cause it?
I really hope it's not stress - he seems to be pretty inquisitive and checking out the house. Calvin is chasing and wrestling him and he's mostly holding up on his own.
He's 7 months old and been with us for 11 days.
Thanks for any advice/ anyone weighing in.
