My girl who has had a PT since May, just started having diarrhea a few days ago. I do not know the cause.
Possible causes include:
Wrong diet
Prolonged use of steroids
Prolonged use of/too much antibiotics
Reaction to Cabergoline?
Not enough bene-bac?
I started her on pedialyte to combat dehydration, and the symptoms improved a little bit.
He urine went from dark gold back to light yellow/clear, but her poops are still not solid.
The poops are coming out brownish and/or pedialyte-colored with consistency somewhere between peanut butter and jelly. The former poops have a weird composition- I dont know exactly how to explain it- but its like where I can push down on them with a tissue and they do not stain or stick to the tissue. Really weird. The latter jelly-like poops are normal composition.
I have been feeding her Ensure max, as well as pea/carrot/banana/pear baby food for months, because I was trying to get her to gain weight back.
I just now figured a way to get her to eat her oxbow by soaking it in water and then mixing that with soy baby formula and blending it to a mush, which can then be syringe fed. We will see if that helps.
My question is:
Is this a later stage symptom of the PT, where the body stops digesting food properly?
Or is it likely due to one of the aforementioned issues?
What is the best way to deal with this?
Thanks!
