How to care for puppy w parasites

Posted By Chantelle (Essex, United Kingdom) on 11/12/2010

Hi, I have a 5 and 1/2 month Labrador puppy who has had a bad case of diarrhea with blood in it. She has suffered from this before, the vet gave her antibiotics which sorted it for a short period, however its back again. She is active and is eating Okay. We have been feeding her brown rice and boiled chicken for sometime now but this doesn't seem to be doing the trick. As I don't know what kind of parasite she may have its difficult to identify what I can try and use. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank You

My 14 year old dog had stomach cancer... With lots of blood/soft stools. I feed him 93% fat-free cooked ground beef with brown rice... And I add 3 vegetarian capsules of VITACOST NSI Probiotic 15-35, plus one WACHTERS 22-A tablet. His cancer has totally disappeared, and his stools are great! He's sooo healthy & happy! And I am sooo grateful!

I just wanted to know if you were able to find anything that helped your dog with diarrhea? My dog has been suffering with the same things for months and tried 3 rounds of antibiotics from 2 different vets dewormed 3x. Now trying colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract.

Cinimmon or tumeric or curcumin (from tumeric root) works great in humans also. U can use the spices U get in the grocery store or supplement capsules from the drug or health food store... works great in humans also....I just sprinkle some in their food -- 25 lb. dog -- 1 tsp. All 3 also help inflamation. They work great in humans also.

I had read that DE was good for getting rid of fleas, so I went and bought some food grade and dusted my cat and dogs with it. Well my cat had a severe reaction. He had sores all over his neck and developed a sore and his hair on his neck came out oh my gosh poor thing. I think the fleas started to multiply what the heck they are such beasts. Dogs didn't have any reaction so I guess I would say start out with a small amount for cats since their systems must be more sensitive.
