Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Katie Scarlett Headed To The Vet Hey guys! Well I called the vet just a minute ago and got an appointment for this afternoon. On Friday I noticed she was having a little loose poopie. Well this morning it is full blown diarrhea. I call the vet at any little thing. This is my first Yorkie and I worry, but they are always so nice to us. So I called a bit ago and they are going to squeeze her in at 2:30. Right after I got off the phone it hit me.... I think I know why she might have diarrhea....she may have worms!!! Last week we were outside talking to the neighbors. At the time I did not know that they had been feeding a stray cat. I hadn't seen the cat. Well I look over and notice Katie Scarlett is munching on something. I immediately ran over and it was poop! I dug all I could out of her mouth and we ran right in to rinse out and I brushed her teeth twice. But I know she may of ingested some. I feel just awful! I take my eyes off of her for a second and she eats poop! I know nothing about worms. I mean, I do know how she can get them but as far as treating them, I am not sure. I am taking a stool sample to the vet. I did notice it is a bit mucous-ey. I am just beside myself guys! I feel like the worst Yorkie Mom in the world! If it is the worms from eating that stray cat poop, it's my fault! You can bet I will be watching her a lot closer when she is in grass. I just want to cry!!!! I will let you guys know as soon as we get back. She hasn't had a change in diet or anything like that. She is eating TOTW, but I checked the bag and it was not one of the one's on the recall list. She is not vomiting or anything, just diarrhea. She is sleeping a lot more though. Y'all please pray for my baby!

| Aymee, you can't watch her every second, they are so inquisitive and want to check out everything and she just got a new taste for poo.

| It does sound like something doesn't agree with her, I know she will be fine but glad that you are getting her checked.

| I'm sure it's nothing... Sometimes they get upset tummies (just like we do), and things pass. I'm glad you are getting her into the vet though... It's a good idea to test for worms.

| Oh no poor Katie Scarlett. What type of Heart Worm med's does she take? Cause most Heart Worm med's take care of the worms. But it is good you are taking a poopie sample to be checked. Prayers Miss Katie Scarlett is feeling soon.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Thank you guys so much for your kind words and concern! We are back home. Katie Scarlett came straight in, to her big girl bed, I covered her up with her favorite blanky, and she went right to sleep. You can tell she does not feel good. My poor baby! I did take a stool sample in. It tested negative for any worms/parasites. KS is on Heartguard. We are diligent about giving her that on the 23rd of every month. The vet said it could be a minor bug. He gave us 'metronidazole 250' mg tabs. They went ahead and quartered the pills for us. I am to give her 1/4 of a pill twice per day. I gave her the first dose and she went back to sleep. He said this should help settle her stomach and help the diarrhea. I am to watch her for the next couple of days and she will go back if it does not clear up. I will keep you guys updated. The vet said to hold food the rest of the day. I gave her breakfast. He said she could have water. And I can give her bits of cheese with the medicine if need be. You can bet I will be watching her like a hawk. I am so glad it wasn't worms or a parasite. Again, thank you all for your thoughts!!! P.S. Kitty Kandy! That cracked me up! I needed that smile. I will tell her for sure that she is not allowed anymore kitty kandy!

| Poor KS - don't worry about it too much - probably just an upset stomach. Jackson eats poop all the time nasty dogs... But glad she's feeling better so far!
