Her whole large intestine was filled with fecies. The doc said it wasn;t good at all to see that for her age. He said it is a good thing that there wasn't any in her small intestine. The surgery will have to do with cutting out the pocket, or pouch and reconnecting it to her anus. It was explained in short detail to me. We will be doing another Xray to see the progress. The vet did say he is going to recommend me to a specialist before we jump to the surgery. We have had her on a high fiber diet since our last vet visit. It helped alot, but the part that helps the most is the enemas. She is getting very frustrated with her enemas the last couple of days, and the release hasn't been as good as before, so I am hoping her colon is empty enough! I don't know what more to say at this time, but she is due for her spaying when she gets 4 pounds. I am going to see if they can do the surgery at the same time, depending on if I can get the spaying vet and colon vet to meet in the operating room. The less surgery the better... I am up and down in my emotions with this. I got my puppy as a long time companion. Me an my fiance do not have kids and Basil was my smile when I came home from work. I never knew that these kinds of problems existed in dogs. I want to get a copy of the Xray so I can post it on here. and for possible court...

I have the xrays. tried to scan them but it didnt work out very good. so i am trying to figure out how to get a good picture of them. we have a new medicine to soften stool. the doc told me to give her 1cc and that i may have to do less cause it might give her diarhea, well his wasn't kidding. i got a pup with a sore butt, diarhea, and the beginning of another rash. its never ending. the medicine is called lactulose. it was wwwaaayyy to strong for her. she has severe diarhea. i didnt even give it to her today, cause she still has diarhea. and a leaky butt.. i wish i had the answer. vet says lets give her a bit more to grow and hope she grows out of this... he said he will be recommending a specialist shortly if this does continue to persist. all her fecies was out of her colon though! so i did good with the enemas! she is only passing what is in there now for what she eats during the day. but the pain is something we need to manage. he wrote these words down on her chart. constipation, obstipation, and dyschezia. look them up. it makes sense.

Here is a link to the video of Basil trying to go to the bathroom. Maybe seeing her in the process will show what she is going through. Mind you it is kind of a hard video to watch. Please feel free to stop the video if you can't watch it anymore. This also isn't the worse it has been, this is one of the easier moments, but with no progress. :aimeeyork

Here are a link to two previous puppies that had what sounds to me like the same problem. I remember the first puppy so well. There was a video but it has now been removed. I don't know what ever happened with him. It was very upsetting to watch. :(

"GULP" Wow. Thank you everyone for all the replies and prayers and thoughts for Basil. To clearify the situation. I have talked to the vet, we will not do the spay at the same time. Yes the lactalouse is adjustable, I go to the vet thursday to get my specialist referal. My faince is co signing for me to get a credit card. Care credit has a 29.9% interest rate. I have looked into SOOOOO many different things. That is why I haven't been on here posting updates. No Basil isn't in pain when she takes the lactalose. Yes that video was specialy taken just for the vet to see. The pocket was caused from excessive feces build up in her large intestine. I am going to take pictures of the X Rays thurday when i bring them back to the vet. They have the proper lighting to let me do that with my camera. You all had so many questions, and everything. i am trying to keep up with all the questions. So if I missed something please let me know again. feel free to private message me. i will deffinitly keep each and everyone of you informed. thank you again for all of your support. Basil is my lil baby and I love that little girl like she was a child. I will reach to the stars to help her. No matter what.

Did you send a PM? Maybe the account is set up to send an email and a PM will be more obvious than this thread.

I have never paid that much interest with Care Credit! Each vet that accepts it can set their rates. Many of them are interest free for a year.

We are treating her with luctoluse. 1cc adjustable once a day. high fiber diet, and i am suringing water down her throat to make sure she stays hydrated. 15 X 3 cc = 1/4 cup of water. also enemas with warm soapy water 2 times a day as needed. but is used to be 4 times a day. we haven't done those lately becuae she seems to be in a lot of pain when we try to do it now. So far no other treatments. i am going to get my specialist referal thursday also. so so sorry to here about your pixie. how did she get hypoglycemia? any signs to watch for?
