| Luma isn't feeling well. She's had very bad diahrrea that is runny and sometimes looks like it has mucous in it? I don't know... Nothing changed. She didn't get into anything as far as I know. She's also vomited a couple times over the past few days. I'm going to try the pumpkin...it's just pumpkin puree with no spices or sugar added, correct? Should I cook for her? Rice and chicken or what? I don't know. It's been like this for a week or so. It usually resolves itself but I know her tummy must hurt, and I feel bad.

| I don't have any suggestions other than the pumpkin and chicken/rice. I just wanted to say I hope Luma feels better soon!

Donating YT Addict | Have you called vet? Id think a week or so of that would warrant a vet visit. What does your vet say to do?

A week or so?????????? I would have been at the vet Day 3, if not sooner! If she keeps with the diarrhea, she can get what is called a "slick gut"....that is where all the normal flora in her intestines is gone....I would see what the vet says to do....before she gets dehydrated and down. | |

| Please take her to the vet. Tomarrow is Friday and you could end up at the EV if it gets worse. That would cost more and it wouldnt be her Dr. |

LOL agreed! I have the "bat line, red phone" to the vet. Waffles acts funny for more than half a day she goes to vet.

| Poor Luma!!!! I hope she feels better soon. This is the pumpkin we use Organic Pumpkin - Farmer's Market Foods We can find it at Target, and also in the organic aisles of the grocery stores (specifically Giant in our area... not sure what you have down there in TX)

Carmen, you need to know what is going on so you can fix her. She's probably getting weak, maybe cramping, nauseated, who knows? Could have some IBS and need some professional help to get her past it. Tibbe had a bout of IBS that lasted 6 weeks back in early summer though I took him in the first day of symptoms. Go on ahead and get her in, get a diagnosis and get her started on treatment. Might need prescription food, some meds, etc., if it is IBS but whatever it is, I pray she's treated & feeling herself before long!
