Went To The Vet - Tia Rose

Thank you for all worrying about my Tia -- or as Jim now calls her, "Daddy's Little Tee Tee Mouse" LOL

I couldn't bring a stool sample because she hasn't had any STOOL -- only pure liquid which the wee wee pads instantly soaked up. The vet tried to get some poop from her (OUCHES!!) but there wasn't any available. So I'm going to hopefully get a stool sample tonight and then take it to my vet in the morning. So I don't know FOR SURE if she has coccidia but the vet did say that she has all the signs of it. The vet said she'd bet money that Tia does has coccidia. So I'm definitely going to get a stool sample either today to tomorrow -- as soon as Tia does a solid poop (and of course I'll take pictures of the poop lolol).

Besides that, the vet said that Tia was FULLY hydrated because I force fed her all night with the nutrical and pedialyte w/ sugar in it. She said that if I didn't do that, Tia would have been VERY sick from dehydration and maybe even died -- being that she's so extremely tiny.

She gave me 3 syringes full of panacur and told me to give her 1 syringe a day orally. And I also have to keep giving her 1/2 cc a day of Albon.

Tia did lose 1 ounce. She now weighs only 1 lb and 1 ounce. The vet she is going to be really tiny full grown -- probably 2 lbs. But I really hopes she gets to be a bit bigger, at least 3 lbs. If that isn't the case, I'll just have to be extra careful with her and make sure I'm 100000% on top of her health.

Tia is eating and back to her playful cute self. But I'm still worried. I'm going to make her rest today and keep warm (it snowed today). Right now she's wrapped in her new pink velour blanket w/ bunnies on it and looking as adorable as ever. Codie has finally started to warm up to her too.

Please keep my little girl in your thoughts. And thanks again for all the QUICK and awesome advice. I'll keep you all updated on her progress.
