Answers for Discospondylitis

[SheriB]

Hi Dr Jeff
Louie has been doing great since we talked last except for some excessive thirst/urinating and loose stools. Im not sure if they are connected but im wondering if we should change any of his supplementations or diet. We have had him on a bland diet trying to get the loose stools under control but as soon as we reintroduce some of the other foods or supplements, we see a return of the symptoms. His appetite wasn’t the greatest the last couple days, either and he threw up his whole meal yesterday. But everything else is coming along nicely, and he’s walking all over the house and even tried to go up the stairs by himself.
I dont know how concerned we should be with his other symptoms at this point and if so, what should we try?
Thanks so much
Sheri

Also, I did tune into tonight’s webinar, trying to establish if his thirst/urinating is something to be concerned about but Im not really sure.

Great news Sheri that Louie is walking around and is seeming to feel well.

Does he have any history of vomiting or diarrhea.

BTW-In case I didn't already mention it, Dia-Assist works well and is safe to use to support his healing:

Dia-Assist previously Good-Form BM - HomeVet

This formula helps to support normal intestinal functioning and can improve many problems with diarrhea. Often trouble is merely a symptom of disharmony in the intestinal function of re-absorbing water from the wastes passing through it.

No he doesn’t really have a history of it. But one thing I did pick up tonight was the importance of probiotics in conjunction with antibiotics and, Louis was recently put on two potent antibiotics to try and treat the discospondylitis but there was no mention of probiotics to counter the effects. Also, is it safe for him to be on calcium carbonate and glucosamine? And was dose of vitamin should we have him on?
Thank you for the suggestion, I will try to get for him ASAP. Would he benefit from Slippery Elm in the meantime?
Sorry for all the questions ?
