Sunny's Doing Well & Pearl's Now Doing Much Better!!!:Latest SKY Update 6-17-09

I took Pearl back to my vet this morning at 10am. She gave her a vitamin B-12 shot and also told me to start giving her Metamucil and Forti Flora for the next 7 days. I took in another stool sample and it's normal so the antibiotics that she had been on must have taken her good bacteria away from her in her intestinal area and then it became irritated which caused her to have blood in her stool. She said it's a form of colitis that will go away when her good bacteria is restored. I just wish that we had tried the Metamucil and Forti Flora after I took her in on Wed. instead of trying the Peptobismol thing first because then she'd probably be almost back to normal by now. I'll let you know how it goes.

That is more than annoying, could have saved Pearl more than a few days of suffering and you of worrying. Anyhow, here's hoping all goes well from now and Pearl is feeling better very soon.
Prayers continuing.

Yes Tracey, that would have been a good idea, but at least Pearl is now getting better, it seems.

I hope she'll be back to normal very soon and you can stop worrying.

Lots of positive throghts.

Thanks Chris and Randi.

So far I haven't seen any more pancakes in the boxes but I'll know more in the next day or two.

Hopefully, the Forti Flora will start working right away. It sure did the trick w/Puddy. Keep the faythe.

I hope, as well, things are improving! Prayers continue...

Thanks Mary and Pinot's Mom.

So far so good. When I cleaned the litter boxes tonight I didn't find any pancakes. I only found formed stools.

Since Pearl was fasted for 24 hours she may not poop until tomorrow though. I guess I shouldn't get too excited just yet. I feel very confident that the combo of the Mutamucil and the Forti Flora will do the trick.
