Thank you everyone for your good wishes.
Jazz is down a little bit more in weight, she's now 4.1 lbs but otherwise very healthy and still has a ton of energy. Honestly she's always bright eyed and bushy tailed....you'd not even know she's ill to see her behaviour.
The only thing my vet can recommend is a referral to a specialist for a colon biopsy or to treat her with 25mg Metronidazole every 12 hours to ease her anxiety.
I'm leaning towards the anxiety as this problem all started when we lost Billy. She used to follow him everywhere and was his constant companion. I truly think he helped her adapt to any situation. With her coming from a puppy mill she was always fearful of people, tolerates the cat but absolutely adored the dog.
I used to take both dogs regularly to visit family in Ottawa with no problem. She never once had diahrrea in the last two years, now she has it every time we go away which has been almost every weekend since August and it lasts longer and longer.
In fact she had a normal BM yesterday before her vet appointment and then this morning she was back to being runny?
I'm starting the new meds today and crossing my fingers all goes well. Really don't want to have a biopsy done. I might have to find a cheaper supplier for these pills though! They sure are expensive! $125.00 for 25 pills yikes!
