I called the vet and she said to keep doing what I'm doing it's just taking him a while for the stools to firm up and as long as he is eating and drinking and acting normally, it's a wait-and-see approach. I do however, have a vet appointment tomorrow at 2:30 in the afternoon. They want me to come in even if I do not have a stool sample 😕

Went to the vet today without a stool sample but he was able to get some stool. It came out negative for worms and parasites. I told the vet he had some gel like mucous in his last stool so he is on Metronidazole and Prednisone. I should also continue the chicken & rice diet until he has a firm stool then start the change-over gradually with his regular kibble. If there is no change in a week then bring him in again. It could be he picked up some bacteria or a virus somewhere but he is acting normal. My girl is fine so at least we know it is not contagious.

Have any of your rescue's been on this medication and if so, how was the outcome?
