August 26, 2016 at 12:17 pm in reply to: need help! parvo survivor puppy with giardia #89428 Report AbuseDiana LMemberI just submitted my inquiry (copied and pasted what I posted here) via the “contact” form. I do not see it on the forum, was I supposed to submit my post via the “comment/reply” section at the bottom of the forum?
Thanks!
August 26, 2016 at 12:06 pm in reply to: need help! parvo survivor puppy with giardia #89426 Report AbuseDiana LMemberThat is a wonderful suggestion, and greatly appreciated. I am going to do this right now! Thank you 🙂
August 26, 2016 at 11:53 am in reply to: need help! parvo survivor puppy with giardia #89422 Report AbuseDiana LMember100% agree, as I stated all of this will be thoroughly discussed with his vet. But i think it is smart to also explore other options and hear opinions of other dog owners who may have experience the same thing. I don’t feel secure in just one persons advice, I appreciate a multitude of answers which can then help me evaluate what is the absolute best solution. 🙂
August 26, 2016 at 11:22 am in reply to: need help! parvo survivor puppy with giardia #89419 Report AbuseDiana LMemberHi!
The fiber content in his rx food is “Crude Fiber Max. 2.0%”. Also, any input on my response to Susan with regard to the homemade food + supplements I was thinking of giving him?
All of your support and input is so greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!
August 26, 2016 at 11:20 am in reply to: need help! parvo survivor puppy with giardia #89418 Report AbuseDiana LMemberHi Susan,
Thank you so much for your response. AS for the fat % in the vet food, it says “Crude Fat Min. 13.0%”.
This is my thinking… his gut is one big swamp due to the effects of parvo (I assume he must have something similar to SIBO as he shows many of the signs). Now, in this swamp he has nasty parasites (giardia) eating away at his already vulnerable gut. This being said, after much research this is what I was thinking of going, but am nervous as none of these remedies are FDA approved for dogs (i of course will check with his vet but i find that many times hearing other pet owner’s experience is much more beneficial as every dog is different).
PLAN OF ACTION:
-take him off the vet food. Cook him organic, no antibiotic/hormones, vegetarian fed (aka the best of the best) chicken + sweet potato + carrots (i heard carrots help with a dogs digestive system).
-now for the basic supplements any puppy or dog would need in his food, I would mix in: seaweed plant based calcium powder ( https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Essentials-JX0001-Seaweed-Calcium/dp/B0002AAO2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472224097&sr=8-1&keywords=seaweed+calcium+pet ), and Multi-vitamin – this vitamin contains small bits of garlic and yucca which could help his intestinal problems ( https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Essentials-Herbal-Multi-Vitamin-Dogs/dp/B010F36XRK/ref=pd_sim_468_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7T75QBGRD5NZPA4GD5AJ )
-now for fighting off the giardia, building his immune system, and dealing with the aftermath of the parvo, I would add the following to his homemade food: goldenseal, echinacea, grapefruit seed extract, and slippery elm. (here is the article I read that suggested these items: http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blogspot.com/2012/04/diarrhea-in-dogs-puppies-cats-kittens.html )
Once again, these are all things I will consult his vet with, but as i mentioned many times vets are VERY quick to prescribed whatever drug/prescription food they are “encouraged” to push just as doctors do with FDA approved drugs 🙂 I simply like to keep a balance is all.
Any input!? Thanks again for all your wonderful help!
