Several days ago, we began to add probiotics and essiac tea to
their "simple soup". It appears to have helped.
**Hmm. I'm so used to giving our kids probiotics in their gravy that I never
thought to mention that. Sorry. They always get them here, so it didn't
occur to me.
Essiac, OTOH, is something I considered but decided not to include since it
is a mild diuretic and I was concerned about that. But I definitely thought
about it for a while before making that decision - I'm a pretty big fan of
Essiac.**
Our good news is that they are ALL eating some kibble now!
Coordination has improved, & they`re playing again, for short periods
of time. Some have gained a (small) amount of weight.
**Great news - we're not quite to that point, but it's getting there.**
I have seen one strange effect here, in the recovering / recovered
ones. Their muscle tone is slightly flacid--they seem "flabby" Could
a vet or other knowledgeable person pop up here & say if this is related
somehow to the severe dehydration they suffered???
**I've noticed that too. I'm attributing it to the dehydration, but also to
the protein and electrolyte loss from the diarrhea.**
