Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Well Molly..I don't blame you for not caring for the butt fur trimming process! That can't be too enjoyable for you.
The good news here is thank goodness there is no vomiting! And her appetite is okay too...happy and in good spirits..all good signs!!
Now we just have to get that system back to normal. How many days was she on the metronidazole? I thought the usual dosing on that was for 10 days? Maybe she needs a few more days of it? Or maybe in the morning she will be getting back to normal and poop patrol will report solid business!! :D

If Molly is happy, that's all that matters! The rest is just details.;):) xxxx

Molly obviously just needs to make a firm commitment to the process.:D :o

:D Good one Sharlene!!! :D hahaha...on that note I'm headed to bed!!

Hi Sharlene,
Just trying to get caught up a bit on everyone since so much has been going on with Jasper. It sounds like your party was hit, so glad you had a great time and that everything went well!

So sorry to read that Molly is still having bad poos. Like Barbara, I am wondering if she wasn't on the metronidazole long enough? It seems like the minimum course that Jasper was ever prescribed was a 10 day course. I think his dose is always 250 mg 1/2 tab twice a day x 10 days. The last time when he had a really bad case of colitis (last spring), he ended up being on 2 back to back courses, so a total of 20 consecutive days, and then that was when the Fortiflora was added. He got that daily for a full 30 days in addition to the metro, and slow diet progression. So I am wondering if she just needs to be on a full course of both to do the trick.

Happy to read that her appetite is good and she seems to be feeling good, but the ongoing poop issues are frustrating and worrisome. I have resorted to the butt fur trimming also in the past, so you are not alone! :rolleyes: Molly needs to make a firm commitment to the process, LOL. :D I hope she is on the mend soon.

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

:D commitment is something we are all good at while caring for our pups isn't it! Nothing too much for us dog Moms :) So we have a half n half good poops!! C'mon Molly you can do better than that, we will be looking for 75% tomorrow :D:D So frustrating, it is a little alarming how a good poop can really pick up my mood :) FIngers crossed we will be reading a good report tomorrow xxx

Well, maybe not 75%, but we can probably push a 65% today! :)

I'm convinced the first part is good because she is going once a day right now.

Tina, molly got 250mg a day for 5 days. Maybe a full dose instead of halving it for 10 days? Not sure.

I'm not going to contact the vet again till we see how this week goes, if she can make that commitment or not. :)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene,
Enough Poop issues already! Come on Molly. Let's get this firmed up!
You might need John's poop chart for inspiration! LOL XXXXX

Yep, I saw it, showed it to molly, told her what we out goals are what she should be aiming for.
Have I mentioned that she prefers to go her own way in her own time?! LOL

Bad storms moving into the area tonight. Looks like just arriving here. I hope Patti gave Tipper something to calm her a bit tonight, since she might be getting this too. :( I took Molly out to pee as soon as I saw the radar and she did one and I'm saying, one more molly when lightening went off in the sky. Not another drop out of her, she closed up like a clam and headed for the door with me right behind her.
I have the flashlights out just in case and we're moving stuff around just in case we get some slow moving heaving downpour (which they say we might) Blankets out downstairs for molly to hide in.

Hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

stay safe Sharlene. Kim
