The vet took a sample of Jasper's stool, made a slide, and came back to tell me that it was "interesting", which is never good news.
There is yeast present, which itself is not making him sick but it is a sign of something wrong in his gut. She thought she saw some giardia, though she wasn't certain.
Basically, he has raging colitis and we don't know why. We sent a stool sample off to the lab, and I should know the results tomorrow. He seems to be *feeling* better, though he still has diarrhea. He's starting some Metronidazole and probiotics, and we'll see what happens in the next week or so and what the lab says.

He hates his meds, but I can trick him with a bit of bread.
