Hemorrhagic Gastrointestinal Infection, went to the vet but won't eat?

Small amounts of corn syrup on her tongue will help keep her blood sugar where it needs to be. Just don't give her too much.

She probably doesn't want to eat because she probably still feels nauseous. It's like when you have a stomach flu. Even if you aren't throwing up water, you probably still aren't real keen on eating. Dogs are like people, they don't want to throw up, so if they're still sick to their stomach, they won't be as likely to eat. I would try the suggestion of changing the fish from the tuna to something else and boil it with the rice. Warm foods are more likely to get her to eat and some dogs don't like the strong scent of tuna fish.

If she doesn't start eating in 24-48 hours, I would contact your vet.

Did they send out a fecal to a lab to scan for giardia? We've got obvious a number of giardia nowadays within the clinics. If she's 100% terrible for parasites, i might look into food allergies. I've a cat that confirmed identical symptoms, and after treating her a few times for GI upset, I met a vet that encouraged switching her to a raw food medallion. I used to be at all times against uncooked food diets, however I gave it a try and my kitty hasn't had a predicament due to the fact. Your vet can in finding just right strategies on VIN. You will have to ask them to do some research for you or find a vet with a purpose to. That being stated, it sounds like your vet took the right direction of action up to this factor. Next, you have to see if there is an underlying reason to all this vomiting and diarrhea. Excellent success!

Never ever force feed your dog or tempt her to eat. When dogs feel fragile, they need to rest their digestive system.

Hopefully she will be better soon and she will want to eat. The vet should have been more specific about a light diet, I will paste details of the diets which the vets in the UK recommend.

Boil fish or chicken, remove the skin and bones, mince or chop this and mix with soggy rice. (soggy rice is overcooked rice using extra water) Or scramble eggs in water, never use milk or butter. Even a healthy dog has problems digesting cow’s milk.

When a dog is recovering from diarrhoea, has other health issues or after surgery a light diet is important. The dog should be given five very small meals a day for several days consisting of the above. When it is ready for its normal food, just small amount of this should be given and it should have several small meals a day.

Canned tuna is very strongly flavored and scented and also very salty, even the low sodium ones have more salt than you probably want to give this dog.

Get some mild white fish like sole or tilapia and cook it right with the rice. Be sure there are not bones in the fish.
