Section: Follow-up
Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up can be critical, especially if your pet does not rapidly improve.
Administer all prescribed medication(s) as directed. Alert your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems treating your pet.
Return for future appointments as requested by your veterinarian. Follow-up with CBC's, X-rays, and cultures may be useful in assessing the response to therapy.
Notify your veterinarian immediately if the diarrhea worsens or if new symptoms arise. New symptoms such as lethargy, decreased appetite, and hiding may be an indication that the pet is worsening.
Keep the home environment as stress free as possible for optimum healing.
