I'm sorry to hear that Coco is so sick! It sounds like he really needs to go back to the veterinarian. He should have blood work and X-rays done to see if there is any other issues going on. If he has an intestinal infection he will likely need to be placed back on fluids and injectable antibiotics. I'm concerned that if he doesn't receive additional treatment soon he may pass away. Unfortunately with Coco being so sick there is not much that you can do at home. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I'm wishing Coco a speedy recovery!
