As per my previous post I am trying to change Izzy to TOTW. I was mixing it as directed on the package. I wrote before that her stool was a little runny, well her first pooh yesterday was real runny. Little piles of pud. I went back and read all the threads on diarrhea and immediately took her off her food. I cooked and drained hamburger and mixed with white rice and figured it would do the trick. I fed her twice yesterday about a cup each time. She ate as normal, and did not throw up.

I also noticed she felt a little hot but her temp was 106.6 which according to what I have read is not high. So I gave her ice chips off and on all day to keep her hydrated. My daughter was here with her dog and everytime her dog walked by Izzy would snap at her and also my chihuahua. I chalked this up to gas or just plain feeling yucky. So I kept her comfortable with me and kept the others away to give her some time alone.

Today her pooh was still very soft and at about 2 this afternoon it had very red blood at the end. It was also on her butt hole bright red blood. I called the emergency vet clinic. They asked lots of questions and everything else is normal. They suggested I only give her a couple of tablespoons of the hamburger and rice for supper today which I did. She had a cup for breakfast. She just now poohed and thankfully no blood but still very soft. I am hoping this is a good sign. Keeping my fingers crossed. They did not suggest bringing her in unless she throws up or gets lethargic and high fever.

Oh, just discovered something else she is in heat. I was not sure if she had been spayed or not because she has a small incision on her belly around the same area as my friends dog so I just assumed. Her previous owner was not very forthcoming with information.

Poor little Izzy. Her Momma sure has a lot to learn and Momma is scared.
