As hubby says "diarrhea, cha-cha-cha" :rolleyes:
EVERYONE has diarrhea again. EVERYONE. I took Angel for a direct fecal last week - came back negative. They sent me home with Panacure for her. Then her diarrhea got worse during the week, so back I went with a fecal sample. That too came back negative. Over the weekend, it got WORSE. and ALL my guys have it now too.
Last night, she just about knocked me out when she used the litterbox that is under my desk.
I am at a loss here. I've had undiagnosed diarrhea in the house since the summer. Its getting old now. Things cleared up for a while, but then got bad again. Allen was diagnosed with campy a month ago, and everyone went on antibiotic since its is contagious. Then everythign got better. Once they were done a full course (and then some) of the antibiotic, the diarrhea returned.
My house smells BAD. Then I added Aladdin the other night who has never been neutered.... and boy the boy's urine SMELLS. So now my house smells like poop and strong urine (amazing how the smell can come up from the basement, and he HAS been using the litterbox, no misses yet)
I guess there is no point to this thread but to vent. I just called the vet and they want me to return with Angel for yet another direct fecal. What if this one comes back negative? I think I might just go junmp off the nearest bridge! :(
I've tried everything - pumpklin, yogurt, panacure, albon, erythromycin, clavmox, baytril... and so far no luck! The only thing keeping me sane is knowing other people in the rescue are experiencing the SAME thing... and feeling the same way.
