Hello. I am new to this message board and hoping to get some help. My Doberman Pincher who is 12 weeks just had to have emergency surgery. He had surgery due to an Intussusception. He had to have part of his colon, ileum and some of his jejunum removed. It was very scary.
The vet said to expect diarrhea. Actually the first 3 days he was home they were solid. But I’m thinking that was a combo of the metronidazole and pain meds. They are no back to loose stools which she said to expect. He’s only 12 weeks old and he is just so hungry. She said small meals for 2-5 days then back to normal. He’s on Hills I/D high fiber low fat. My concern is that he’s a larger breed puppy and he’s not getting what he needs to grow properly.
He’s had tons of energy and just wants to eat. This entire thing has been so scary. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks so much.
