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.
I'm guessing Zoe is back to her normal happy self? Scary though huh? Fletcher gets the same things happening to him fairly often, maybe 4-5x a year. I've taken him in 2x and they don't know what it is. They do tests and everything comes back normal. I wonder if he has Colitis. Seems to fit his symptoms too! hhhmmm
