I haven't posted in a while, but I always no where to turn for support and advice. Thank you in advance.

Gracie has been having loose stools for the last few days (off and on), but last night we were horrified to find bright red blood in her stool. DH took her to the vet today and he said that her enzymes were elevated, mentioned something about pancreatits and said she had bacteria in her stool. Here's the kicker. I was shocked that he said it was probably caused by the food we have been feeding her. We thought we were doing so good by feeding her Nature's Variety raw. I'm devastated. Has anyone else had a similiar problem? Do you think it could be anything else. She and the baby (Toby) have been on it for a little over two months and seemed to be doing so well. Her eye boogers (that she's had since we got her) had even cleared up.

Any thoughts or advice?
