Hello all,
Can you give me advice what to do? Toa is very sick!
I'll try to explaine as cleary as I can, hope I use all the right words (English is not my native language, so sorry for mistakes is spelling)
He and Ross had diarrhea (smells terrible) since january 6. I waited for 2 days and then went to the vet (one is speciallised in sphynx).
She tested both on parasites like Giardia and Tritrichonas. She saw a parasite with no name (?, she saw it with other spynxes but the specialist have not yet diagnosed it). She gave me Ronidazole for 2 weeks. After one week the diarrhea was still going on so she added antibiotics.
That still didn't stop the diarrhea so she gave special food (Royal Canin Veterinary Diet, gastro Intestinal), iso-gel (homeopathy) and Panacur (fenbendazol) for 5 days.
All this time they did eat, drink and played normal and didn't look sick. They were growing and added weight.
The new medicine helped for Ross and he's healthy now. He's playing and growing like crazy.
But Toa still has diarrhea and since sunday he doesn't want to play anymore. He's drinking and eating normal (drinks more then normal) but is loosing weight.
So to the vet again. She tested Toa again: no parasite, no nothing. Only some gass she could feel. She gave him some pain medication ans gave Metrazol for 8 days and asked me to call her every day to tell her how it's going.
That was monday evening. Here its wednesday morning now. Yesterday the poop of Toa was normal for the first time (I was jumping through the house!). But this morning it was diarrhea again (that made me cry). He still doesn't want to play. His reactions are okay, he doesn't look "sleepy" and eats and drinks good.
The vet want to take him in for observation. She's going to test his blood and urine.
Do you have advice? Are there more thing I have to ask her to examine?
As you can imagine I feel so desperate and sad!
Sorry for the long story, writen in terrible English.
