My poor little fella is really unwell at the moment, he's been passing lots of blood in his urine just lately and seems to drink only when he's on the brink of dehydration.
We took him to the vets yesterday and we were given some medicine to give him (Baytril but differently concentrated to what he had before) and some medicine for dogs that will ease his pain and work as an anti-inflamatory(Metacam? I think.. I'm unsure as my partner is looking after him whilst i'm on holiday)
However he said it would be best to change his diet and to take him completely off what he's eating now (Pets at home Muesli) as he may be picking and choosing his food and not getting enough nutrients.
He suggested getting an all in one food mix or pellets but i'm unsure as to what's suitable or what makes I can buy.
Any suggestions and where I could get them from would be a great help!
Also how would I go about changing him from his Muesli to another food? I know roughly that you have to introduce it slowly but still would like to know exactly.
Thanks in advance.
