I didn't think much of it at first because she had had half of a boiled egg (easter egg) the night before, which she loved and ate up. Since she hadn't had one before, I just assumed she was having a little upset tummy from it. Well, this morning, she did another poop like that. It was still pretty formed, just way softer than usual, so I still didn't really worry about it,

So ever since then, she's had liquid poop. So I took her to the vet. I had to take in a stool sample (omg, how gross!). We got some medicines, one is like pepto bismol and the other is an intestinal antibiotic. The vet said to watch it for now, and then we'll see what happens when the sample comes back (about 2 days). Then she vomited in the car on the way back. She's never been sick before. I'm so worried.

In the meantime, I'm keeping her in the crate. I feel bad, but I can't have her squirting all over the couch and furniture. Even though she's housebroken and goes outside, diarrhea doesn't give much opportunity to get out fast enough to be on the grass.

My poor baby. I know her tummy must be hurting terrible. I just wish I knew what to do to make her feel better.

Does anyone know if we can give pedialyte or anything like that. I don't want her getting dehydrated.

aww poor chloe!

for starters i'd just watch her water intake and if it seems she isn't drinking too much then you can give her pedialyte. ALso you can try giving her ice cubes. This tricks some dogs into drinking water becuase they think their getting food because its crunchy.
