~pedialyte to help keep her hydrated (i have to force feed it to her with an eye dropper)
~antibiotics (my vet called in a scrip for a course of antibiotics right away)
It seemed to work and she did not have to be hospitalized the 3rd time...

My Fletcher had it twice last year. The first time I was panicked and $400 later he was ok.... the second time, I switched him to bland diet, dog pepcid and pedialyte with an eye dropper also. After a day he was back to normal with no antibiotics that time. Catching it early enough is definitely key though!
