Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

So glad you have found a new practice who seem to have a better attitude. Really hope you get a diagnosis soon. Poor Vespa and poor you

Ah Rosamund,I'm so glad you've changed vet ,I'm sure you will be much happier and I hope they get to the bottom of what's making her ill x

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

What a horrible time you've been having Rosamund, but glad you have found a vet that seems to fit your requirements much better. You'll be seeing your vet several times a year for the next decade or so, so it's really important to build up a relationship with a good vet, who knows and understands your dog and you. Hopefully they will work out what's going on with poor Vespa and you'll get some peace!

My oil dog had quite a sensitive tummy. When he got a bout of what we called 'gurgle gut', I'd give him those small cans of id/prescription - I think they are Hills? Expensive, but they really firmed things up in the poo department. Good luck, hope Vespa is better soon.

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

I'm so glad you've found a new vet Rosamund they sound much more approachable and professional.

Let's hope they can get to the bottom of Vespa's problem on Monday.

Fingers crossed. ;D

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

Can't wait to hear about the experience with the new vet! And very hopeful they can figure out what is going on with Vespa!

Helloooo
We went to the new vet yesterday. He was fabulous. He treated Vespa with kindness but was totally practical and no nonsense which always gives her confidence. She relaxed very quickly indeed. He checked her very thoroughly and explained everything to me as he did it. Apart from the tummy thing V is in perfect health apparently-no scary stuff, weight, teeth, liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, pancreas, coat, temperature, etc etc. She's has never been checked so thoroughly. I didnt know what a good vet was. Vespa is my first dog and my old vet was consequently my first vet. Anyway, he was totally supportive of her raw diet and explained that while it was great for Vespa it slightly upped her chances of getting certain parasites and advised on what stuff I should be using. He has dogs of his own and it showed. The sample results will be sent from my old vet to him and he will decide what to do then but definitely seems to favour the less is more approach which I'm happy with. Because she's basically happy and bouncy he's not worried. Wait and see I guess!
The new vet is in the middle of a huge park so Vespa got a great walk afterwards. We went camping at the weekend in Glencoe and I was bowled over by how patient she was. It was great fun.
Thanks for all your support and great suggestions.

Ps no charge for vet for first alpoinments.

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

That is really good news

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

Fab news so glad you found a vet who you can believe in. At the end of the day our dogs are part of our family and need to be treated as such.

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

Fantastic - sounds like you definitely made the right change. Hope they get Vespa sorted out soon

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

The new vet sounds perfect Great news all round.

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

Much more positive for sure. At least you feel confident with them. Hopefully he will discover what the problem is and get it sorted soon!

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

I'm go glad you had such a good first appointment with your new vet! They sound like a very caring practise.

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

That really is good. Like night and day as they say.

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

Just caught up Rosamund. Really pleased your appointment went so well. This vet sounds much better. ;D

Let us know what he says about the test results and fingers crossed he will have Vespa's tummy back to normal in no time. ;D

 

Re: Probiotics/bright orange diarrhoea/losing the plot..

The new vet sounds great and it also sounds as if Vespa is better, good to hear.
