Yes. Her PCV (Pack Cell Volume) wasn't high, and her bloodwork was all good and well within normal range. She also doesn't appear to have any pain in her belly area upon examination. She also only vomited the first time after I gave her pediatlyte, and then she's vomited water once after drinking. No vomiting of the bland food (chicken & rice) I've given her since this started.
It seems to be a process of ruling out what she doesn't have. Her vet said it's colitis. So, of course, I googled it
and it seems to fit.
Colitis -
inflammation of the large intestine. Most dog owners report seeing frequent, small volumes of semi-formed to liquid feces. Many dogs will exhibit straining during and after defecation, and small amounts of bright red blood will often be passed near the end of defecation. Mucus or fat is seen in many cases of chronic colitis. Vomiting occurs in less than a third of the cases of colitis or large bowel diarrhea. Weight loss is rare.
