[Gpdd] Re: Health - diarrhea

Hello,

First of all, take the gp to the vet or at least let the vet know by 
phone of the situation so s/he can tell you what to do!

Definitely you should eliminate the fresh veggies for the time being.  
Keep to the pellets, which have the vitamin C, and if you can find some 
hay, give him some of that for roughage.  

In Wanda Curran's book, she recommends also pediatric 
electrolyte/Pedialyte to replace fluids loss from diarrhea.  (I've given 
my gps that in syringe doses).  Also, she recommends 1/4 t. anti-diarrhea 
medicine like children's Kaopectate by spoon or eyedropper.  

You might want to also mix yogurt with mashed up fresh GP pellets from 
other gps and feed him with a syringe.
