Well, things have gotten worse.

I was computer-less for a week so I'll back up a little.

We were in Houston (AGAIN :faint:) last weekend and he decided he no longer wanted to eat his Nature's Variety Raw Kibble. He flat out refused it several times. Sooooo....I switched him to Wellness Simple Solutions. He loved it, gobbled it down. No tummy troubles after switching foods (we are still mixing the two because I have A LOT of the NV.)

We got home on Monday and suddenly, he doesn't want to eat at all again. Neither does Jenny, btw. :mad4: They pick at their food through Wednesday breakfast. I mixed some pumpkin in his food and put her back on i/d (she had been eating it at Rena's). They ate like champs for two days.

Friday morning Bailey had diarrhea ALL OVER the house again. I'm getting really, really, really tired of scrubbing carpets. :sosad: Well, the last batch was about half blood, so off to the vet we go.

The vet said he had a digestive tract infection. Yeah, that's about as much fun as it sounds. He got a shot and is on two different pills, an anti-diarrheal, and an antibiotic for 10 days. We go back to the vet on Monday so we can rule out anything more serious.

So a few rays would be appreciated by Bailey's tummy and mom's carpet!

Make sure and give him Probiotics! They will straighten out his system...especially AFTER the antibiotics! And Wobezyn Enzymes will hlm process his food. Find both at www.naturalpet.com

Thanks everyone!

What I forgot to add was that he weighed 13 pounds just 2 days before Ohio, and Friday at the vet weighed 12 pounds.

He lost a POUND in 2 weeks!!! :faint:

The vet said that he looks great, is at a great weight, but I'd like him back at 13 pounds just to be safe. He looked so healthy at the picnic, and now you can just barely see his spine. :sosad:

Oh no! :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz:

I just went through tummy issues and stained carpet also. We were able to clear up both, so don't worry.
