Hi Everyone,

Today has not been a good day. Sorry I did not post earlier I have just had my hands full today. Faith was doing so well and today has taken a turn.

This morning I let her out into the living room to walk around but mainly so I could monitor her walk and if she was seeing properly. I scattered some of my grand daughter's toys around so she would have to walk around things. She did just fine. Walking was slow but good. I have been concerned with her eyes so I wanted to know how good her vision was and she would see the toy and walk around it. I stood away from her and got her attention and then wiggled my fingers for her to come to me and she did so I knew the eye sight was better. However, when she got to me I went to pick her up like I always do and she screamed!!!! I immediately put her back down and she cried for a little longer and then wondered off. I watched her for a minute and then she came back to me and I lightly felt her all over. She whined some especially when I got to her tummy. So I woke the vet up. He thought maybe it was gas so to watch her and call the office when it opened and see how she is doing then. No problem...that is only an hour from then. I managed to coax her into the crate and brought the crate into the room with me so I could keep an eye on her. After an hour she finally started to whine a little so I opened the door and let her out. She got a drink and went potty. Then she wondered into the living room again. Let her walk around and she did just fine. Got on the floor and she did try to play some. Very slow in her movements but you could tell she was trying to play. Vet said maybe the canned food was giving her gas and her tummy was upset so to still watch her a little longer. Ok. I let her continue to do her thing and it was feeding time so I gave her the food and her medicines. She then played with me after eating and I gave her my hair scrunchie and she shook it. After about 5-7 minutes she started getting real weak and just kinda fell on my arm and layed there. Called the vet...my thought is the new med he gave her. He said it might be to stop that one and continue the other 2 and lets see how she does. She goes and lays down and is crying some but not loud. After laying there for about 30 minutes she cries out and then gets up and goes to a different bed. She moans for a little bit and then goes to sleep. Gets up later and doing just fine. Walks around good. Does what I call playing but it real life is isn't. LOL But if you touch her tummy then she will cry out. Next meal...does fine. No loud crying...slightly moan when moving but not much. Latest meal. Ate good. No problems. I had to leave for a little bit and when I came back everyone else was in the living room and she was in the computer room and she started screaming. I ran in here and she was in the bed trying to get up. She didn't cry any more. She got up I lightly petted her let her walk around in the living room again. She did that and decided it was time for bed so she came back in here and climbed back into the bed and cried out again and now is sleeping.

So...here are the questions..

Can it be the Wellness puppy food causing her gas pain or an upset tummy??
Do I try to use a different food??
Could it be the antibiotics that she is taking be causing her problems?

We go to the vet in the morning so I am sure he will tell me what we are doing then but right now I just don't know what to do with her. I can't keep wasting money rushing her to the ER to be told it is nothing and I can't get in to see a neurologist till next week. A&M said I can bring her to their ER and they can check her but that is 3 hours away and would they tell me any more than the ER we went to? Both vets said the coccidia and the infection can be the cause of the neuro problems so they both said to just let the med work right now. I am not even sure who we need to see since her neuro problems are better. The blood in the stool is gone. I am just at a complete loss as to what to do and where to go.
