But she's eating the L/D food with some pumpkin mixed in right now...whooohoo! I'm happy. Her weight was down 1/2 lb! She's about 6 lbs 6 oz usually and weighed 5 lbs 13 oz. just now! Yikes.
It was worth the vet trip, for the peace of mind I have now.

I am glad Phoebe is going to be allright. She was not dehydrated, and it only cost you $90.00> and the vet is running a fecal exam. When my Suzi became ill, the vet could not even get a stool sample on her! However he did do a Parvo test , just to rule it out, even though she has had all her vaccines and was nearly a yr. old. Fortuntely that was not it> Suzi was very ill , vomiting and had diarreha. I was a mess, it was the first time she had been sick. However, she was not dehydrated , They kept her for the rest of the day for observation, and boy was she happy to see us, and ready to go home! The vet gave of antibiotics and something else I believe it was Flaggal. I was very scared.
Your Phoebe is absolutely stunning. How old is she? Is it difficult to keep her coat long? Have you bred her? What a little beauty. She is only a 6lber though, and I bet she's a doll baby.
