Avatar f tn Just letting all of you know that Purina has come out with a powdered probiotic called Fortiflora that I have seen first hand help some dogs with bad cases of IBD. They make a feline version too but I haven't heard any feedback about that yet but I know of 2 dogs so far that were suffering with terrible bouts of gastroenteritis and colitis and they have been using this product and the diarrhea has stopped.
1974739 tn?1326022445 He may just have a bad case of gastroentertis, but his age would make me wonder if his symptoms are due to an age related disease, simple kidney and liver functions will better assess your dogs overall condition. If it is gastroenteritis, then typically antibiotics should help your dog feel better, in about 48 hours, give or take a day. You said he took a biscuit, but turned his nose up at the prescribed dog food. Try using his normal dog food, and see if he will eat it.

Avatar n tn Aside from exposure to a cold environment, viral and bacterial infections such as bacterial gastroenteritis, infectious mononucleosis, pneumonia, strep throat and urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis may be the underlying cause. If it persists, it is best that you have this evaluated further for proper diagnosis. You may benefit from a referral to an infectious disease specialist also. Take care and do keep us posted.

Avatar n tn I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV. She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.

When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications.

Avatar n tn Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
Avatar n tn what does the Esinophil number mean in a blood test and what if it is low
Avatar n tn As you already seem to know, the main infections risked by analingus are viral and bacterial intestinal infections, not traditional STDs. In other words, if you catch anything at all, it probably would cause a combination of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for a few days, nothing more. However, you certainly are not "virtually guaranteed" to acquire such an infection. Maybe a 5% chance as a guess; but that's only a guess.
Avatar f tn The antibiotic you used killed the normal bacterial flora in your colon which has a role in breaking down some nitrogenous nutrients (like protein) and absorption of water. They also form colonic gas which is easier to get rid off. What the antibiotic didn't do is it didn't get rid of the offending bug which seems to have remained as a chronic gastroenteritis.
