I took Ashley to the vets on Monday afternoon and I wasn't able to get a fecal from her before the appt. The vet checked her out and her temp was normal. Luckly the pumpkin was kicking in I think because she didn't have any accidents in the carrier or at the vets. The vet examed her and she was swollen of course around her bum and he said he thinks she has a small intestinal infection and that I should continue to give her some pumpkin and give her 1/2 Metronidazole Flagyl 250 mg pill.

She got her first dose at 3 p.m. on Monday, second dose at 5 p.m. on Tuesday because she was being very difficult...and then 5 a.m. today.

Her poo was firming up yesterday and I gave her a small bit of dry food and a bowl of pumpkin again.

Now today she got just a little bit more of dry food and pumpkin and now she has the runs. Her dry food was pulled and I'm waiting to hear back from the vets.

They gave me this pill before for Albert who had the runs and it made him worse so I had to stop it and give him this powder mix from Purina and that seemed to help him but I don't know what's up with Ashley.

Please keep her in your thoughts.

Thanks,
Melissa
