Good morning,
I am the owner of a newly diagnosed Shih Tzu mix (older - rescue dog).
It has been a week since he returned from the vet hospital. During this week, he has developed bad diarrhea from the Royal Canine Glycobalance dry/wet food -- evidently he was on just wet at the hospital and I added dry when he can home (I know it is the food because my other dog ate some and now he also has diarrhea). Otherwise, his test results have all been within 100 and 150.
Last night, I went back to his old food (BilJac Small Breed) and I added more chicken to try to get rid of the diarrhea - he ate less than half. His first reading this morning was 85 and I just tried to feed him and he turned his nose on any food with the dry and would eat only chicken. After retesting after the morning chicken, I got a reading of 116. I have an appointment with the vet this afternoon to have him look over Derby and to review my chart.
Questions:
1. What can I do to get him to eat?
2. Is the BilJac OK with more protein added?
1. If I need to switch from Biljac, what do you all recommend that can easily be purchased at Petsmart?
I would appreciate any guidance since I have only a week of experience.
