Hi everyone - just an update on Jaxon.  He's been on the Flagyl since Monday and already seems much better.  Yesterday he was very energetic and by dinner time, he finally ate.  Today he's just like normal, eating, chewing, playing, etc.  I ran out for groceries this morning and came home to find a perfect little 'present' on the paper, so I would say the diarrhea is gone.  
 
  
Fortunately my cold is better too - just a cough now! 
Thanks for all the well wishes.
