I just talked to my father on the phone about her, he knows our income is very limited, and I am aware that he ould help me financially if i need it. Here is hoping this is not going to cost a fortune. Suzi is far worth it.
Really severe diarrhea will result in blood. Her intestinal tract is irritated. If you can get a bit of feces for a stool sample..they'll test that. A routine cbc test will indicate whether or not she's fighting off an infection. She may be a bit dehydrated and they'll give her an iv of fluids. And likely they'll advise nothing more than offering her a bland diet for a few days.

If she's looking for food...she must be feeling better. So that's a good sign.
