My mom (69)is in a rehab/nursing facility RN because she recently had a foot amputation due to her being diabetic and getting a foot infection. She's barely been eating and she's having a lot of diarrhea. Is this normal? She's on antibiotics rn so could that be the reason she's feel like this? I know lack of appetite and diarrhea could be early signs her dying and before I get all worked up about it. I wanted some insight from people who have been through similar.
Antibiotics as well as other meds greatly decrease the appetite.
