Ellie's poop is still runny. On Sunday she had dieherrea (what is the proper way to spell this word?!?! I cant even spell it close enough to the right word to get google or any spell check to correct me!) and I posted about it. I called the vet and he suggested that she get rice and boiled chicken to help firm up her stool. Some of you suggested pumpkin as well so that night thats what she got. Its been about a week now and her stool is still runny. Sometimes it comes out in a defineable shape but its definitly softer then it use to be as it smooshes very easily when I pick it up. Sometimes its just a runny mess that I cant pick up rather then smear everywhere when I try. Her poop is coming out orange like the pumpkin so I stopped giving her that on Wed hoping to see some improvement Its still coming out orange but less and less now. Everyday this week she has had to go in the middle of the night but last night she didnt so I thought we were on right track but this morning it was still runny and orange. I called the vet yesterday and she said that to keep on it with the bland food. The key thing she said was whether Ellie has been acting differently because if she has then it might be more serious then just a tummy thing but she hasnt She plays and runs around and besides the runny poop is fine. She also got a bit spoiled this week as my husband was sick on Wed so he was home all day and then yesterday I had some personal things to take care of so I was home with her so she got to spend extra time playing and snuggling. Any suggestions as to what to do to firm up her stool? Do they just get tummy cahes that last this long? The vet seems to think she is ok other then the runnniess Should I take her in anyway just to be sure? Thanks!
