I'm a little worried

[virgo062]

About this one...This is Big G I don't know if you can tell from the pic but his belly is huge. he pees and poops just fine but he's not eating as much as before...Only 1.5-2cc's. Big G is always the first one out at feeding but now I have to wake him up to feed him...I don't know what but something is not right :thinking

Do you have a weight on him? Is his tummy hard? I wonder if he has gas, maybe from the formula? Do you have infant gas X?

[virgo062]

He weighs 74grams that's 19 grams more than last week...his belly does not seem hard at all

[Jackie in Tampa]

any change in breathing pattern? any clicking?
he is a cutie!

[Kelly Brady]

Big G is adorable:grouphug

[virgo062]

His breathing is fine...No clicking. He is a little "jerky" while he's eating. His eathing pattern has changed he usually just lays there with a firm lock on the nipple and now he's thrashing his head back and forth. His belly protrudes on each side

[virgo062]

I'm going to try the gas x....Can't hurt:shakehead

He only eats FV I've not used Esbilac at all on these babies.

Hi virgo,

I'm just getting caught up on some threads. What kind of tests did you have done? Is there another thread on this baby?

Big G is so Cute! I hope hes OK!:)

[pappy1264]

I hope he is ok. That is how Sebastian and the rest looked right before the diarrhea (and coccidia) started. I thought he started to bloat (and I guess to some degree he was). How is his poop, any changes?

Hi Michele...I took him to the Vet because I suspected Giardia or Coccida because he had stinky poop...The Vet thought he saw Baylisascaris which is called the "deadly worm" it's a roundworm infection from Raccoons. He sent a sample to The University of Tennessee for a clarification.

Pappy...His stools go from good to bad. At the 3:00 feeding they were runny but at 7:00 they were firm:dono His poop does not stink anymore and I did give him a shot of Baytril. Now let's think about this...he started on the 32/40 Fv Formula which is up to 4 weeks. I just started them on the 20/50 which is for over 4 weeks. The 20/50 has 10% more fat and 12% less proteinI need all my nutrition peeps to help me on this one

I added Ultra Boost to the 32/40 to pick up the fat. Mine got thin on the 20/50.
I would do 1 pedialyte feeding and then resume. Sounds like he's simply full!

Let's hope and pray it's not baylisascaris, Raccoon Roundworm. No treatment for that once the adults start traveling. I don't know that stinky poo is is a sign of baylis so much as neurological disorders are....:dono
My vote is for the C or the G

Rick said Big G had blood in his mouth this morning....Where are those test results!!!!!! Hurry and and wait:soapbox

[Jackie in Tampa]

diarreha always accompanies cocchidia...always...in my experience.
giardia is always stinky...IME
blood in mouth can be from teething {hopefully} or sucking the nipple too hard and creating a HICKY effect...ok too...
otherwise I have no clue what blood in the mouth would be...:thinking
love to have new pics of BigG!:Love_Icon
sending good vibes:grouphug

[Gina]

keeping my fingers crossed on Big G, sure hope is nothing serious.:grouphug

Blood in the mouth is common in suckling teething babies. Don't it throw you.
If test comes back negative, redo in 7-14 days. Oocytes and larvae aren't always being shed in the feces. Gotta catch them in the cycle.

[pappy1264]

When my guys went through coccidia, it was the same way, really bad, firm up a bit, then back to the nasty stuff....it was infuriating, to say the least! I treated them for three weeks. And Sebastian...omg, the amount of blood that came from his mouth...I was sure he would need a transfusion! No kidding....it was ALOT! Praying hard this is something fixable!
