ok some of you may or may not know but about 2 weeks ago Kemo was flaking, shedding, balding...blah blah blah. To be safer than sorry I took him to the vet to get a scraping done. The test was good but she gave me an antibiotic "just n case" well besides the fact that I hate meds I decided to do it anyway AAARRGGHHH. After some research I found out the milligrams she gave me was too much and I cut the dose down into 4. I continued everything blah blah blah. I did the meds for 7 days not 10. He improved and I never really thought he had an infection anyway. 7 days was the min to do an antibiotic. Ever since he has taken the meds his poops have been getting softer and softer. I added probiotics to his food to counteract the affects of the antibiotics (killing the good flora in the colon) well it's been over a week since he has been done the meds and still mushy poops. I admit the last two days I changed his food. He did not touch the wellness but ate last night another brand. I also stopped the probiotics and have given him less scraps and treats to try and balance him back out. Today it was just yuck no formation no resemblence of a poop shape. I offered him pumpkin to eat and so far he does not want it. (i heard that firms up poops) I also just went to Petco and bought his old brand.
So I ask you..........what do you think it is? None of this happened until I gave him those stupid meds. He has eaten all kinds of foods in the past without EVER having a reaction in his stool...dairy, fruit, etc etc. Has anybody else experienced this? Do you have any suggestions? I ran to the vet twice and it ended up being nothing (other issues) not that I am a worry wart so much I just rather be safe than sorry. I really dont want to run to the vet AGAIN if it's nothing. Should I wait and see if his old food puts things back in order??? He doesnt always eat it which is why I was trying other stuff. HIs breakfast foods have not changed just dinner.
Thanks
