I believe it was on her second bought and only a slight variance in levels. So weird. My vets said it was a tough diagnosis because there is no absolute diagnosis, it's all symptomatic. After we ruled out diabetes, parvovirus,parasites... They treated for pancreatitis and it worked. Bland diet, slowly into her normal kibble,<br/>
; she gets nothing out of the ordinary any more. I can't recall what kind of pills they prescribed. One was an antibiotic and the other was metronidazol

<p>We've had similar issues with our Emma. It's way scary when her stool is more blood than poop. After lots of tests, the vets think she has an extreme food sensitivity. She is now on a hypoallergenic food, and we will be doing more blood work next week to find out if it is helping. So that's something to look into.</p>

Katy, the vet did blood work last year and this year as well and there are no signs of pancreas issue, thank goodness! How did they diagnose Maddie?

Hi Dana, I'm curious if the vets found anything on her bloodwork? My mothers corgi, Maddie, has a sensitive pancreas and so she will get boughs of pancreatitis if she eats rich foods or off foods. Those symptoms are similar; bloody stool, vomiting bile, dehydration sand no appetitie. Her last one was really scary. But she hasn't had one for a couple years now. It took a bit for the vets to diagnose her.<br />
I'm happy your Milly is feeling better!

Update- so Milly is doing great! She finishes her antibiotics tonight, had normal stool and as of a few minutes ago back to just her kibble without the gastro food. It was tough getting here. She just looked awful and for days following this episode, had to be hand fed and slept so much. We eased into walks a few days ago and she was ecstatic lol. My concern is that docs can't tell us whether it is a flu or she got into something. We walked the yard and looked everywhere and couldn't see…

My concern is that docs can't tell us whether it is a flu or she got into something. We walked the yard and looked everywhere and couldn't see anything she could have gotten into. This happened last spring too, so maybe it's the annual flu? Thanks so much for your support and good thoughts, it means so much :) Any update with Milly?

<p>Not that she has much to give, but did they take a stool sample? Linus had horrible bloody diarrhea last year and it turned out to be hookworms.</p>

<p>Jane, she has no interest in food whatsoever. I boiled chicken and rice for her and she absolutely loves that and wouldn't touch it at all. I did buy the gastro wet food from the vet that she enjoyed before and nothing. She would sell her soul for fish so that is why I asked the vet about a little tuna. I need to get two antibiotics down her somehow tonight. Last time this happened a year or so ago, the vet told me to buy some paedialyte but today they said no because she will have her…</p>

<p>Has she been eating anything? I would boil some chicken, mix it with some plain rice and see if she can hold down a few tablespoons of that. I've also given vanilla pediasure when I was worried they weren't getting enough liquids/nutrients and they didn't seem interested in food. I'm not sure I would give tuna on an upset tummy.</p>
