Sorry for the double post!!!!

Thank you for your prayers. We just got home with Boop. The x-rays were all very normal. The blood panel was all within range and normal. It showed no evidence of pancreatitis.

When we arrived at the ER, the vet asked if she could have gotten into any rat poison or any other type of poisonous item. As far as I know, she has not, other than the outside things I listed in the 1st post. She also asked if she had been around any dogs that haven't been vaccinated.

She gave her an injection for nausea called Cerenia; Some anti-diarrhea med called Diarsanyl Oral Paste; Immodiam AD 2 mg. tabs; and Metronidazole for infection.

The only thing she vet could see during her exam was that she had a LOT more bacteria in her poop than was normal.

I am still worried about her because something has caused this. But what? She said if Boop started vomiting to bring her back in immediately so they could hook her up to IVs. She didn't appear badly dehydrated, but recommended getting some Pedialyte.

If anyone has any ideas, I sure would appreciate hearing them. Thanks.
