Hi Friends,

I just got a precious little dog from the pound 4 days ago. It is part Schnauzer and part Poodle (Schnoodle).

They found her wandering around. She is very thin probably due to not eating, but is sweet as can be. SHe will just sleep in your lap for hours and cuddle with you.

I took her to the vet yesterday to have her checked out. The vet said she figured her to be around 4 years old.

She said she did show signs of whipworm in her stools and they put her on some medication. Other than that they said she looked healthy.

She started though yesterday having direahea really bad and now she just won't eat at all.

I don't know if maybe that is due to changing her food as to what she was eating in the shelter, or not.

Does anyone have any ideas on what you can do to treat direahea in dogs?

I read on the internet that it is important to make sure they are drinking water, which she is some. They also said you can add chicken boullion to it. Has anyone done or heard of that?

Any Advice?

I am just crazy about this little thing and I only hope she is not sick.

Peggy
