Mary-

Thanks for asking, I finally heard back from the vets and they think it's Inflammatory bowel disease and they want me to start her on predinsone so I had that at home already because of Apollo and Sophia having asthma so they told me to start it twice a day starting today.

They told me to stop the Metronidazole Flagyl 250 mg pill and the Purina FortiFlora mix over her food so last night I gave her a small handfull of Purina Sensitive Stomach food just dry and boy she just went to town. I think she was happy to get some non crappy food for once and this morning there were more spots on the floor but hopefully if I get her on some food that won't irritate her bowels then maybe this will help I hope.

Oh, well that's good news that the vets have some better ideas now of what is going on with Ashley. We hope and pray and send good healing energies that she will be feeling much better very soon and not having these little accidents.

Hope this helps.

Another one of my guys was just put on prednisone for IBD. I have gone to a diet of feeding them cooked rice, cooked chicken, and canned pumpkin (with appropriate supplements). It has helped (and they love it), but you might want to try something like that for your little one.

(BTW, Buddy aka Wobbles has decided that diet is the BEST thing!)
