Unlove Help! Metronidazole, bloating, cancer?!?!

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar, and if they have any guidance for us. We brought our little Yorkie Scully into the Vet on Tuesday when she had a little diarrea and we thought there might have been some blood mixed in there as well, we weren't sure, but figured better safe then sorry. The Vet we saw that day told us she has an environmental parasite and prescribed Metronidazole 50mg capsules twice daily. That day she weighed 5.8lbs. 24 hours later, she weighed 8 lbs!!!! She was so bloated! So I was concerned, and my husband brought Miss Scully back in. After tests a different Vet is now telling us they think it is either Lymphoma, Lymphantaisa(spelling?), or inflametory bowels. They thought it could also be her kidneys or liver, but they think they have ruled that out. This Vet also told us she only has a 50/50 chance of survival. We are bringing her back in to another Vet (one with a better bedside manner) for a second opinion, but has anyone else ever experienced something like this? Does anyone know about how any of those three conditions play out? My heart of hearts is telling me this drug is the cause...maybe I'm just naive, but it all seems so sudden! Please if anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it, I just can't sit still and wait for tomorrow. Thank you and bless you all.
