Thank you all so much for your well wishes and prayers. Mya is still resting a lot.. still blood in her stool but a very small amount.. nothing like before.

kjc, the vet did mention doing a PCV, but he recommended we wait based on her current symptoms.. if it continues that is our next step. Hoping it doesn't come to that, I don't want to put her through anything more than necessary - the vet also said it's quite pricey - obviously I would spare no expense to make her well, and if the vet said we need to do it now, I would have said ok. But he honestly did not seem too concerned with the whole thing and truly believes it is just a bug or a parasite, although he was very understanding at how upset I was based on what I saw at home.

She's been through so much in her two and half years.. poor baby has been to the vet more than most 7 year old dogs... she hates it as much as I do
