Sorry to hear Mia is having tummy problems! Those symptoms sound like what Maddie has had time and time again and she has inflammatory bowel disease. The vet said she needs to be on metronidazole for life, but I don't like that idea, so I have now weaned her off of it and she's doing okay so far. I figure when she gets an upset, I will give it to her then. TLC on YT also has a puppy with IBD, so if you have any questions, just PM her or me.

One thing I have found is that anything beef seems to get Maddie's symptoms going. I stick with the treats made only with chicken or milk bones she can tolerate. She was on a precription diet...first Hill's I/D and then Hill's W/D, but she simply hates the stuff so I am now giving her Nutro Lamb and Rice which she likes and tolerates very well.

I hope your little Mia is feeling better and that this was a one time thing!
