Gittik (our Shih Tzu) recovered from a nasty Parvo infection. We almost lost her; she was on various antibiotics and IVs and what not for three weeks (will post about that also now that i have recovered from the shock of it all) in March. Fortunately, she has recovered quite well apart from a few minor issues.
1. She developed massive human like hunger and ate herself to (almost) obesity (we were at fault too because she had turned into a skeleton and we wanted her to get back to normal and let her eat) till we realized that she was lazy and a total bum. I put her on a diet and she is back to her normal self...Phew!
(Images of her belly - extremely full)
The vet initially gave her vitamin E which she has been on for 2 weeks and a shampoo to bathe her with every 3 days(we have to apply it and leave her for 5 to 10 min before washing it out). On our last visit to the vet 2 days ago, he further prescribed another shampoo called "Polytar", Vitamin E with Selenium (that is only available from GNC) and an anti fungal called "Fluconazole" to be given for every 4 days (10 pills - This he gave because i insisted that it has to be fungal. i think). He says its a side effect of all the medication and that the hair will grow back. I will keep everyone posted on whether this works or not!
