When I have one like this, I do a 5 day panacur treatment regardless of what the fecal shows. Have you tried Eagle Pack or SG Barking at the Moon? Wellness either works or doesn't--seems not to be an inbetween. Other choice would be NB Duck & Potato. How old is she?

People ask me how I do it. Sometimes I don't know....it never gets easier--and it shouldn't! What I encourage everyone, is to mourn, but do not dwell. It serves no purpose. I remember good times more than bad. I still cry for some if I think too long...how can you not miss a friend? And I don't mind talking about them. When Eliza died, I could have died with her. It was such a useless death. Added to the grief was the guilt that her dying was my fault and the anger--anger at myself. I'd be driving down the street, sobbing, almost unable to see the road many a night coming home from work. I never knew someone could cry as many tears as I did. I finally prayed. I asked that the burden be lifted, and it was. I still hurt, I still grieved, but the overwhelming weight was gone. It took 3 or 4 years before I could even talk about it. Since then, with everyone who has moved on, as long as I am comfortable that I supported them as long as they wanted to be here or could be here, I will be ok-- I will cry, I will hate sending them on, and I will adopt again. Not because the new one is a replacement, but because someone is waiting their turn. When one leaves, another is waiting and it's their time, their turn to be loved. The one gone on is pain free and having a grand time waiting for us! I found it interesting that Austin visited quite a few times after Grace came I guess he was seeing if he made the right decision

Be at peace little girl...... Mara: please put a thread in rememberance forum and tell us all about her, before she got sick.

Could be. There are also nose mites. Makes you want to grab their nose and kiss right? :lol

Sending my sympathy

All of the vets I use have the 30 day "rule". Especially since she is on metacam, I'd get it done.

OK - I cannot let this go. What is a nasal worm doing in a fecal? He had his nose up his butt? Carol Macherey DVM posted on the list last month about seeing several cases in a month, so I emailed Dr. Bill and here is what he said: He posted it to the vet list and someone at a track had seen several cases. All I can say is yuk--right up there with nose mites.

Could be although I've not had that side effect in my guys. Call the neurologist back. Maybe he needs to see him. Why is he on pred?

I'd call the e vet asap.

Try a different food and give a slice of bread before bed and mid day.

A very special boy

I feed boiled meat when they get the D. I'm easy

You are never "ready". Just keep him pain free. Tramadol works pretty good--or can he have opiates?

I don't, and most vets will tell you not to stop them up until 48 hours have gone by. His body is trying to get rid of something. Unless you know for sure what is causing it.... 2 pills twice a day. You'd be better off giving him acidolphillus pills if you can

I haven't read all the replies. Vet doesn't know what he is talking about. 12-14 is the norm and many go longer (like Magic who went to the bridge at 16 1/2) At 10 I'd get a simple panel done every 6 months just to keep an eye on everything. If you haven't done one, I'd do a tick panel and thyroid panel.

I'd give him acidolphillus pills a couple times a day. It will help stomach as well as bowel. Did you ask the vet what other antibiotic would work?

Pepcid, possibly ginger capsules. Problem is that if it is due to stress, these will calm his stomach but not do much to correct the problem. Have you tried a different protein source? If the poop is soft, maybe they would do better on the chicken.

You could stand him on a towel and use a bottle to drip water on it if that works better.

Sending lots of prayers.....

Yes. Which medicine did she put him on?

Run water over it for 5 minutes. Does he mind the bath tub?

Nasty! Water therapy at least twice a day.

How old is he? Any racing injuries?

Also, bad teeth (or needing a dental) will increase both the creatine and BUN. I've emailed you all the papers. I would not be using a kidney diet food!
