It has now been over 24 hours since Lucy got her last Clavamox, but she is
still having completely liquid diarrhea-- 3 times already this morning. I
gave her probiotics twice, to no avail (in the past they have seemed to make her
worse, actually). Has anyone had a cat get diarrhea from antibiotics, and
if so how long did it take to straighten out? I am worried that, since she has
IBD already, this is becoming something more than just the antibiotics.
Also, I took her temp and it was 102.2. I know that this is basically
a high normal temp, but her temp on Wed after her fever broke was 101.5.
Does this mean she has a fever again? I was worried about taking her off the abx
early. I just pilled her with some lysine (though for all I know that is
giving her diarrhea) and gave her fluids. I also gave her flagyl this morning,
but not sure if that is a good idea or not. Normally if her bowels get loose I
up her pred, but I am worried about doing that because she still has a little
bit of the URI and is off the abx.
She is eating, but only a few licks at a time. She only wants plain
raw turkey or turkey baby food, and will have a few licks of each about every
hour. I force-fed her some of the raw turkey this morning as well, but am
wondering if maybe I should just give her intestines a break.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle
