Litter Box Accidents

[Michaela]

I've not used it. The probiotic paste Proviable has kaolin and pectin which act to soothe the digestive tract AND firm the stool so I'd probably prefer to use that instead.

Was there any testing, or the vet decided from a physical exam that there was nothing wrong? My concern is simply that continued diarrhea for weeks can lead to things like IBD...so imho better to do the testing and make sure it is not anything infectious.

The exam was normal
The stool was tested and normal
The vet offered some empiric antibiotic to treat GI flora if it persist ...
Not sure if Flagil will help if test is normal

It depends on what testing was done. Was it PCR testing or a normal fecal where they do a float and look at it under the microscope? Or a snap test for Giardia? The type of testing can vary vet to vet so it is hard to know...

I will have the stool re sent for full diarrhea panel with the vet
Now he has no accident but
the stool is not back to normal
Appreciate everyone's input
Thank you

Make sure it is a PCR panel... IDEXX is the one my vet uses, not sure if there are other labs doing the same thing...http://www.idexx.com/pubwebresource...tes/realpcr-canine-feline-diarrhea-panels.pdf
