I hope it is nothing serious and they are okay!!

I just went thru an on again off again bout of diarrhea with Zoey. Began about a week after her spay surgery. She had VERY loose stools one day and then the next day was fine. But then early early Christmas morning the diarrhea began again and lasted all morning. I called the ER Vet and they had me withhold her dinner and then in the morning switch to boiled chicken and white rice and only about half her normal quantity. We did this for two days during which she had no poop. We talked to our regular vet and gave her two more days (tho scary to do this). On the 4th day I decided to add a frozen dallop of organic pumpkin and she went in the morning. She is on a regular poop schedule again. Note, we did have to wean her back on her kibble.

Our vet said she probably got a bacterial infection while she was there being spayed (since she does not go out right now with all the snow). I for one, am pleased to have been able to make her better without antibiotics but would do whatever the vet deemed appropriate.

Good luck and I will look back for an update!
