I'm so glad you're with your folks and not alone. They sound super. Whenever Cody was under the weather, he tended to drink a lot of water. Kia's poor system is still traumatized from being zapped from both ends. But the great news is that Kia no longer had the runs....I just thought of something, which Cody loved, plus the vet said was good for him, try adding garlic powder to the warm no sodium chicken broth. Cody loved it with his kibble and boiled chicken.
