Both Giarrdia and Coccidia are strong possiblities! Has your vet prescribed Albon yet? Good luck!!!

Many times the food is the main problem. By products, corn gluten meal, beef and others can cause allergic reactions in some animals.

Poor Brambles!

We bathed her today....She was not impressed and both me & Steve have wounds.

She seems happy in her self (ignoring the bath bit) and is currently sleeping on top of my monitor.

Her bottom is still messy but with her new antibotics it will clear up. We are looking for ideas to KEEP it clear i.e.

I'm going to print out both threads of advice regarding food and take them to the vets to discuss.

I was interested in someone mentioning stress. I had remarked to Steve that her bottom gets bad after we have left her alone overnight or longer.

Thanks for all the kind words/advice and I'll post some nice pictures of Bramble soon.
