My baby has ADV, I’m a bit lost and looking for any support possible.
I got gizmo when he was about 4 months old. He ate well and husbandry was perfect.
Soon after bad blood in his stool and I brought him to the vet. He was tested and diagnosed with coccidia. I treated with ponazuril and sent in his stool again right after and it was clear! But gizmo still didn’t have an appetite and wasn’t growing well on his own. My vet decided to send out the test for ADV and the results came back today.
His only symptoms are low weight, no appetite, and failure to thrive. He is super tiny. Only 25 grams at 8 months old. Other than that he is super happy, and active, no other symptoms everything else looks good.
I syringe feed him 3x daily with 1ml each time of critical care, probiotic, calcium, bee pollen, and crushed bugs. Along with water with electrolytes in it.
I’m adding in serrapeptase, and a multivitamin as well once they get delivered.
He still had no appetite and his weight gain is very slow (.5 grams in a week). He is happy though and active but has frequent diarrhea. Sometimes there is a bit of blood in his stool still too. But most times there isn’t.
I love him so much and I am committed to doing everything I can to help him. Please tell me your happy and positive stories to fill me with hope! Any tips or similar experiences! Any tips to stop diarrhea? I feel like this is why his weight gain is so slow he is losing almost everything i give him.
Thank you all so much
