I just got back from the vet myself with my little Abbie, a 4 pounder. She's vomited a few times over the last week and her poop has been kind of loose with a lot of mucus and kinda jelly- like. Anyway, this morning she woke me at 5:30 am in desperate need to go out which is not like her. She pooped 5 times between 5:30 and 2:00 when I finally called the vet. They had me bring her right in because she's so thin and so has no fat reserves. If she gets sick, they've warned me she could be in trouble fast. Anyway, after a through exam, the vet said what I was describing was classic colitus which could be caused by a new food, stress, something she ate outside that didn't agree with her, or, it could be a chronic condition.
She said the very best thing for vomiting was 1 cc of Pepto Bismal twice a day and for loose stools, 1/4 teaspoon twice a day of metamucil. Because Abbie wasn't eating well, she gave me a canned food called IM by Purina. It's a high fiber food to bulk up her stool, she said within 24 hours. So, you might want to try these remedies. I'm not telling you not to bring your baby to the vet, but thought you might be interested in hearing what my vet said. Good luck to you. Let us know how you make out, okay?
