We’ve had our second incidence with Sugar not pooping right.She started with a little mushy poop and then it morphs into diarrhea/mushy poop with bloody mucous in it. Throw in a little vomit after breakfast and that means a trip to the vet.

The vet treated both of them, which is good since Sonny had a little softness in his poop too. They are both on a beef/rice diet, along with Hills digestive canned food, pro-biotics and Flagyl. Once they get settled in several days we will start adding their dog food to that. Sugar was eating Orijen’s Adult and Sonny was on Orijen’s six fish. The vet said to put her on the fish and go from there. It’s possible it could be the chicken. It’s possible that it could be just her. She might have something like colitis. They both came back negative on their stool samples. For right now they are loving their food mixture! Still waiting for the first real poop though. Hopefully the bill of $329 will be enough to take care of it.

I was really proud of them at the vet. At first I pulled them out of the waiting room because they were acting like fools with the baby pitt bull there. I took them outside, but then realized that I was taking the easy way out and was missing out on a teaching opportunity for them. I took them back in, sat down and shortened their leash so they were close to me. Told them to sit and they did! LOL Sat nice and quiet then. Until they called their names and everyone laughed at Sugar and Sonny…..the race was on to get to the tech first! LOL They behaved really well in the room.

They came home and slept like they were exhausted!! Must have worn them out!
