Prayers and positive thoughts coming your way..... I always keep some Nutri + gel in the house so the poor babies that can't eat for wht ever reason can get some energy. It just gets in their system straight from the gums.

Hi guys!

The doctor said she thinks it's colitis (swelling of the colon). She said when she did the rectal exam (with her finger), she didn't see any blood. She said to do the bland diet until I get two days of normal poo. She's going to give me five days of pills (to give her one, twice a day).


So, it sounds like a pretty normal thing, thankfully. Once again, thank you all for your support!!! Bella and I send our love! <3

Relieved it's a common issue & meds should take care of it.

Give sweet Bella sloppy kisses & hoping she feels better asap!

How is Bella today [MENTION=13235]Cali Doll[/MENTION]? Do you give her daily probiotics? If not, I would look into it, it keeps the gut nice and healthy. I started giving them to Tyson about 2 years ago when he was having belly issues, and they work wonders :)

She seemed to be better this a.m. She had more solid poops and I didn't see any blood. I just hope I don't come home to a mess...I'm hopeful! :pray:

I was giving her yogurt, but I ran out, and I haven't gotten more. I will start that up again. Thanks for the reminder!

Banks suffered with this too.... we found that it was stress related -- maybe the time away from you caused it and when she got back home it HIT the fan

Oh wow! Now, that would make sense, even though she loves being at the vet. Aww, makes me feel bad...

Don't feel bad... just take it into consideration next time you have to leave her and give her something to settle her nerves --- see if that works and if it does, you can maintain it --- give her great big hugs and kisses from me

She's going to give me five days of pills (to give her one, twice a day).
Another happy ending...get well soon Bella

And Cali Doll, if your Vet gave you Flagy/Metronidazole to give to her, you will see rapid improvement(24 hours)...but be sure to give ALL of the meds.
Thanks for being a great Bully Mom!
