Changed the antibiotic to a Sulfa drug, probiotics, and a med to firm up the loose stools. Can't figure out what started it, either bad food, picked up something in the yard (wet conditions), or maybe a contaminated enzymatic toothpaste, IDK. I sure hope the new meds do the trick. Between butt baths and bleaching the floors I'm not getting much else done around here, lol. | Poor doggies. Hope they feel better soon and that you can get a break from butt bathing and floor bleaching!
