Unfortunately for us Maia has never done well with chicken, she loves it and eats it but it gives her diarrhea and seems to mess up her over all health. We did blood work again and her liver enzymes decreased by 30% which is great! Her actual health though is not so good so that is bad. We can get her to eat which is good, but the food control is not great salmon, ham(boiled a few times to remove the salt), breaded cauliflower, Mac and cheese. Whatever we can get her to eat. It’s crazy! We have her booked with a chiropractor to check her nerve function and we are ready to get prednisone going if it is ibd. We are working closely with our vet daily, she currently is on metronidazole and amoxicillin and gabapentin. Thursday I thought we were going to lose her and she has rallied. I hate optimism as I don’t do well with a broken heart but I am hoping for the best right now. She is on 2 billion probiotic per day as well. Every bite of food I can get into her I think, ok 1 more day at least. If I have to spend all day hand feeding her, I will. She is finally sleeping and twitching a little less! She is going up and down stairs ok, not great but ok and she is no longer falling over. We are far from out of the woods but I have seen some small improvements. Thank you all for your words, encouragement, advice and stories of what you have gone through. It is tremendous to me how kind you are. Thank you for taking some time out of your day and trying to help! We so appreciate it. Mai Mai means the entire world to us and every word, suggestion, or story we take into account and thank you so much for being such a loving wonderful community. With lock down and a sick pup we feel quite overwhelmed, so thank you!
Eating rabbit droppings
-
Now that the snow is gone, Gossy has been finding and eating some of the rabbit droppings in my yard. Enough so it shows up significantly when I took a poop sample to the vet. I've tried disposing of the large piles of droppings but there are lots of single ones that I miss but she finds. I know there is stuff you can put in their food to keep them from eating their own poop but that's not the problem here. Any suggestions?

I doubt that you will find anything to stop that… I never have... only it was "goose" poop
And I never saw or heard anyone that said the stuff you can put on their food will stop them from eating their own poop ever worked.... Knock on wood, I don't have any of them, except when on of my bitches had puppies.
