the vet was very helpful. they did a stool sample and a parvo test. the parvo test came back negative but coccidia showed up in her stool. the vet said this could be the cause of the vomit and diarrhea. she gave peanut an injection to stop the vomiting and sent her home with 2 weeks of albon pills for the parasite as well as cerenia to stop any vomiting for the next 4 days.

the vet was going to do an x-ray, but we decided to try to treat this first and then if symptoms don't improve to go back to see if she has any obstructions. $200 dollars later, i hope this is the only thing wrong! my poor baby!
