Maccabee is eating only chicken, rice, and pumpkin. I plan to continue that diet for a few more days.
We have a vet appt scheduled for 11 tomorrow morning. If he's good tonight, I may cancel. But, if he has any more diarrhea he'll definitely go in.

Just so you have the heads-up, when Kodi had a mild tummy bug while we were on vacation a year ago, he needed to stay on the chicken/rice/pumpkin diet for a full week. Every time we tried (earlier than that) to re-introduce his regular food, he started having diarrhea again. Since we were traveling, we decided that just staying on the chicken and rice wouldn't hurt him for a week, and saved a lot of wear and tear on our travel trailer. (and lots of butt baths!!!) I actually think that continuing the chicken/rice diet longer gave his insides more time to heal. Once we got home, we had no trouble weaning him back onto his regular food.

Oh I remember one time when Django had yet another terrible gut issue he was on chicken and rice for almost 3 weeks. Slowly I transitioned him when his poop looked normal but the vets recommendation was to keep the bland diet until things look back to normal.

We are on our way home from the vet. Poor Maccabee has a GI infection, a UTI, and bladder stones. We should find out Wednesday what type of stones he has. Hopefully they are the type that dissolve with meds. If they are the calcium type, they may have to be removed surgically. :-(

He did an ultrasound (and a urinalysis).
Maccabee got a shot of antibiotic for the UTI, oral antibiotic for the GI infection, and probiotics.

Poor guy!!! That's an awful lot to handle all at once! Amazing that he's been bee-bopping around and acting normal other than the diarrhea!

Poor Buddy! I am sorry to hear this. How does this happen? Is it something that can be done to prevent this?
Hugs an kisses for a speedy recovery.
