The vet called me around 10am to let me know that Grizzley ate some dry food over night. He also pooped and peed. The vet is hoping he would eat more during the day and hopefully I could take him home tomorrow. So that’s the good news.
Not so good news, I wouldn’t call it particularly bad news, is that Brandy’s fecal came back normal – no parasites, which we were hoping for. I say it’s not particularly bad because after giving her a dose of med that makes her stool firmer (and fights bacteria and giardia if she picks it up) , her stool already firmed up a bit this morning. If her stool remains firm after finishing the med, it could just mean bacterial over growth. Otherwise, we’ll go from there. I need to give her yogurt with her food to provide her with good bacteria. At this point, I have to weigh the pros and cons of giving her raw diet any more because clearly, raw diet is not recommended for dogs with compromised immune system since obviously raw meat contains higher bacterial count. We’ll see…

Fingers crossed that Grizzley can come home tomorrow and that Brandy’s poo/bacteria issues are resolved soon.
Thanks. Poo used to be something I loved to talk about when I didn’t have this poo problems with Brandy. Sad.
