Archie is sick!

[Sam, Risa and Archie]

So Archie hasn't eaten anything in 24 hours and has loose stool and a little constipation.  He has been drinking a little which is good, but not as much as usual.  He has been sleeping at every chance and when we go outside to the bathroom, we walk like each block (We live in the city) and he just sits there and stairs aimlessly.  He is very lethargic and just walking slow with head down.  He tends to get upset belly here and there and I think he just had a tummy ache, but I always get a little nervous with the little guy when he's not acting his crazy wild fun silly self. 

But I am most confused by his walking a block or so and then just stopping, sitting down and starring at me.  When I say lets go and start to walk he pulls back and won't move a budge.

So I guess I had probiotic to my mound of Ready for the puppy" hoard

Pam- I think you could probably hold off on the probiotic for a while!

[Sam, Risa and Archie]

Thanks! Believe me, I know. I take their knowledge and opinions and take action.

Also even if the probiotic takes a couple days to come you will have it for next time. Cally is on a probiotic because she was given and antibiotic from her spay surgery. I actually had no idea she would be put on one but from the recommendations from Karen and F and even others I Knew it was important to have, so I wanted some on hand so I bought them and it came a day after Callys surgery so it was perfect and I will have extra on hand from here on out, just in case! I think every one has given their opinion on the probiotics so it
Is up to you of you want to take the advice or not. It has also been discussed many times on DK that vets have no nutritional education, just to put that out there..

[Sam, Risa and Archie]

What kind of probiotic do you use? Thanks!

[Brittney & Cally]

I use proviable DC, you can get it from chewy.com and if you order now you can have it by Friday and if you throw in a toy you can have free shipping! I buy the 80count boxes. Since both Cally and my other dog Rosey is on a probiotic everyday for the rest of her life!

[Sam, Risa and Archie]

I will look in to it when I get off of work.  Are they on it everyday for any specific reason?

[Sam, Risa and Archie]

I just got back to work after walking home to take Archie out for his walk.  Its been a little over 24 hours and he hasn't pooped yet.  I am waiting on him to do so, so I can see if the diarrhea has stopped.  My guess is the antibiotics have made him constipated or the lack of food hes had in the last 24 hours hasn't made him go yet.
