Hi my white retriever, she is one year old now. She got diarrhea from last night, morning she was fine now again she got liquid stool which was followed by few blood drops. can someone please help us.
Dr. Supriya
Hi Pavan, is there any change in her diet?
P
Pavan K N
Hi Supriya, yes previous owner used to give chicken, egg and curd rice. We are giving egg and curd rice. Pedigree sometimes.

Pavan K N
She was responding well for curd rice with egg, boiled carrot+rice + egg.
Dr. Supriya
Okay. Diarrhea after food change is commonly seen.
Dr. Supriya
Give her Digyton drops daily twice for 3 days. This will help with the food change
Dr. Supriya
When ever you are changing their diet it should be very gradual, in that way you can avoid digestive disturbances
P
Pavan K N
So we no need to worry about the blood drops right?
Dr. Supriya
When was the last time she was dewormed?
P
Pavan K N
22nd November when I was getting her to our house.
Dr. Supriya
How is her activity?
P
Pavan K N
We usually take her for morning and evening walk sometimes before 10pm will take her out once where she does her pooping, apart from that she will be in the house. Also she walks very less in our area since she is still adapting the place.
Dr. Supriya
Okay, for now start with digyton and observe her for 1 day if you see drops of blood /loose stools then consult a vet for further examination.
P
Pavan K N
Okay, what food can we give her and can we mix the drops in food or water?
Dr. Supriya
Mix Digyton with food. Initially start with curd rice later you can give her chicken, eggs and vegetables
P
Pavan K N
Okay, thank you Supriya. How much ml should we give her now?
Dr. Supriya
What is her body weight?
P
Pavan K N
21-22kgs
Dr. Supriya
If you have digyton drops give her (3ml-0-3ml) twice daily.
Dr. Supriya
If you have digyton syrup then give ger (10ml-0-10ml) twice daily
P
Pavan K N
We don't have both for now, I will get it by near by pet shop. Which one is most preferable, syrup or drops?
Dr. Supriya
Both have same efficacy. So you can get any one of them, but give the dosage accordingly.
P
Pavan K N
Sure doctor, will follow accordingly.

Pavan K N
Thank you so much for your time and guidance, means a lot.
