That sounds so familar...and I completely believe you that it is once a month. (There were times I felt like with our Magic is was ever 2 weeks!)

We finally changed vets and the new vet worked with us by removing all treats and adding yogurt, but with that still not working the vet changed her to a special diet......and that has worked great!! (She is on Purina DCO which is a high fiber diet.....as the vet figured out the problem was really the way her body was breaking down foods - so to correct the problem she needs the high fiber.)

The other thing our new vet taught us is that these sensative pups have a hard time staying what he calls "stable" and therefore tend to "catch/develop" all the things like coccidia, giardia, etc. Because we took lots of precautions, but still Magic would show up with something new.

Hang in there.....I might suggest if it has gone on this long to ask you vet about a special diet once you get Zoe better. (Our vet also supplied us with some prescription diarriah medicine to just keep at home - just in case something happened at night or the weekend....to help until we could get her back in to see him!)

I hope Zoe reacts positively to your rice and gets feeling better soon! It is so hard to watch them feel bad and not be able to do anything to help!
