Animal Smiley 019 Update on my fur-kids

I took them to the vet on Friday and he said that their blood work came back okay. The vet isn't sure what happened exactly, but he doesn't think it was Nicky's Pancritis or that Nini had the same thing. He made a note about my babies being sensitive to the Amoxicillin, but said that it was okay to have a bottle of Metronidazole on hand just in case they have another episode of diarrhea

I'm slowly changing their diet from Orijin to Blue Basics, Limited Ingredients. We also discussed the bully-sticks and the vet thinks is okay to let them have it as he doesn't think that was the problem and it's really the only treat they have. ( until I test others that won't harm them).

I'm as confused as I was that Wednesday that they first got sick. I don't know exactly what brought it on or how to avoid it again. We also discussed raw diet and home cooking, so confusing

I had tried to introduce them to raw a few times in the past (behind hb's back), Nini liked it, but Nicky was disgusted. The goal at the moment is to get them back to 100% health and find a canine nutritionist for guidance.

I got in touch with a nutritionist from one of the links that one of you gave me, but she's far away and I'm wondering how effective that could be I'm thinking to give it a try anyway if nothing else works. I'll keep researching in the mean time.

Right now I'm happy because they're off the drugs and doing fine. They are playing, barking, running like maniacs and sun-bathing where ever they find a spot with the sun shinning through. So, it's a good day

Thank you all for all the help and guidance
