The vet called back and I asked him if he tested her for coccidia, and he said, "have you been on the internet again".
I said yes, I have been on yorkietalk.com and they asked me if she was tested for coccidia. He said he did test her, and it was neg, but if she still has blood in her stool to bring her back in a couple of days for a retest. I must have misunderstood him about her coming back to him in two weeks, as he said she has to get more shots in two weeks. He still insists that she had a hypoglycemia attack yesterday. I guess I will have to believe what he is telling me. Also, once I told him that she still had bright red blood in her stool and still was soft, he wants me to feed her hamburger and rice. Does this sound correct? Thanks
