She has been on her meds and has only eaten boiled chicken with rice, but still not having normal stool. It is somewhat formed now, but yellowish in color and not her normal looking stool.. Back to the Vet for more injections and still the same. He tested her blood for pancreatitis which came back only slightly elevated. She has a very inflamed looking rectum and drags her butt a lot. Vet checked her anal glands and they are normal. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Has anyone had similar experiences?

Hi Beverly,
I'm so sorry your little one is struggling with diarrhea.
I assume you did have the vet examine a stool sample, right? What worm treatment is your sweetie taking? Was that treatment up to date at the time all this began?
A couple of articles that may be helpful. See PetMD by Jessica Volgelsand, DVM, "
What Should My Dog's Pool Look Like?" This article, as well as others on the subject, indicate that yellowish stools MAY indicate issues with the "pancreas, liver or gallbladder."
