Okay, so I believe it all started when we gave Vixie her 2nd "de-wormer." She had hookworms when we got her so she was given her first dewormer pill at the vet and then a month later we gave her the 2nd one. Ever since then she's had diarrhea and she seems like she can barely hold it in. She went on the carpet last week and she has never pooped in the house before!
I took her to the vet last week and they said it could just be from the de-wormer so I should put her on a bland diet and some stool hardener pills until it clears up. They tried to sell me some sort of prescription Science Diet canned food because it has a lot of fiber in it, but I know Science Diet is crap so I told them I can make my own bland diet. I made her beef and rice for a few days and it seemed her stools were a little better, but still soft as hell so I put her back on her normal diet hoping it would just get better. Well, it didn't get better and I started giving her one of those pills per day. This morning she it's back to being really runny and she puked once this morning. I feel so bad for her. I took her out and she went right to the grass and it just poured out of her. (sorry I know that's really graphic) I just don't know what to do. I don't think it's her food because she was fine on it before I gave her the de-wormer. The vet checked her out and she wasn't in pain anywhere so they don't think it's anything else. Any ideas of what it could be or what I could do that would help? I don't want to take her to the vet again because they'll just say the same thing ("Buy this Science Diet food and give her these pills") and charge me $60.
Please help.
