I first want to say thank you to everyone for all your help, thought's and prayers.

Faith Ann is doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!! We went to the vet this morning and she got her check up. Her neuro symptoms are almost all gone. She is NOT falling now....she can walk straight, she can drink from her water bowel with out wobbling and she wanted to play today. She is still eating on her own...still the canned food but she is going back to the mush food and getting a few bites so I will start to add more of that and less of the canned. Her bowels still have blood in them but the are now firming up. She will give kisses and roll over and let you rub her tummy. She is still sleeping a lot but that is expected.

The vet does NOT think she has a liver shunt. He said at her age she would have had problems before this but he is still going to keep an eye on it. We will have blood work re-done on Monday to see if the infection is gone and what her numbers are then. If the liver is still showing problems then he will do the bile acid test on her. Her WBC was 18.73. Normal range is 5.50-16.90. We still don't know what the cause of the infection is and could be from the coccidia is my thinking. The 2 shots yesterday seem to have either cleared out what ever she ate if she ate anything that caused her to be sick since they are not showing up on the blood work.

So, as of now we are letting the 3 meds do their job and will re-do blood work on Monday. I still call in daily with her status and any changes for the worse she is to be immediately taken in. Otherwise we wait for the blood work and see where to go from there.

Yesterday I did not think she was going to make it. She was just horrible. Today I think she is going to be just fine. She may still have her problems but I think she is doing much better. Still staying with her at all times just so I don't miss anything but I can breathe again for the moment.

Thank you again!!!!
