Poor little Pompadour was very sick since last week, he got ameobas and parasites from eating bird poop, had a nasty diarrhea with some vomiting, we had a crazy time since vets are closed in the night (no one opens 24 hours not even for emergencies) and for the next morning the vet were we take him was out doing non vet related things so we had to take him to a new vet.
He did help us out, and gave treatment to my boy, the diarrhea stopped and he got better, was on soft food that is ground turkey (cooked) wit some canned hill's i/d , he said the soft food will be for 3 days.
In a blood sample the vet said his iron is low, I guess is from all what happened since normally he gets things like green beans, broccolli, raw chicken liver and heart.
However in last saturday he got diarrhea again, he still had some bird parasites inside him .
We went to the vet again, this time at the clinic there was the vet's office owner attending, and she gave him more shots and another dose of the medicines the previous vet gave, the vet said he has the staring signs of gastritis and low intestinal flora, most likely cause from the parasites.
She put him on bland food again, but to my surprise this vet DOES agree and encourage natural food I was compleatly shocked mostly because this is the first time I talk wit a vet that prefers natural food to kibble.
She did read what the previous vet gave to him, and she said that he didn't need the hill's i/d that I didn't need to spend money on it, that I could made myself food for him using ground chicken, potatoes, chicken liver and white rice.
Then we talked a lot about foods and she say that it was better always to use as natural as possible, she also seems to have a grudge against foods like beneful, we had a great time.
I haven't told her about the raw foods yet, but she does have a open mind...... I just told her about that I agree with her and that I give Pompadour natural food (and some kibble meals)
She also sell earthborn that is what she recommends to her clients wit allergies, since she says many of them are allergic to CORN AND OTHER GRAINS, not to meats!! wee I'm so happy wit her
I also got a bag of the EB since my propac bag was almost gone, Looks like this vet is a keeper.
He is a bit better today, the diarrhea stopped,
