Black tar is digested blood. Probably from the original problem with the bowel infection. If she is passing real soft stools you might consider cottage cheese or american cheese. these usually help form up the stools. You might even need some 'probiotics'...I use the vanilla yogurt called...

Sometimes a dog or cat comes home from an animal hospital with the smells of lots of other dogs and cats. The other healthy animals at home either want to investigate these smells...or does not recognize the animal because of the foreign smells.....which makes the hospitalized pet angry or...

Not that specific one. I have the sysstem by Aqua Illuminations know as SOL. They are 24 mixed colored 3 watt CREE bulbs per unit.

Excellent news. As far as 'pooping'....even though they have been force feeding her and she has been eating some for you she really has not had that much food over the last week. If she is OK otherwise and just a little constipated then your vets or i can give you lots of advice to get things...

I suspect no news is good news over this weekend. Give us a report Monday after they recheck blood values and give you an assessment of how she did over the weekend.

I am glad she is showing progress. You are correct about long term medication. Some of these guys stay on corticosteroids for months. Based on the comments from your vet, your hubby and maybe an active household it sounds like a good plan to leave her for a couple days...coupled with the...

I live in an area where there are several large (mine is average at 5 vets) veterinary practices and we have two 24/7 care speciality hospitals within 20 minutes and Univ. of pennsylvania vet school 1 hour away. Second opinions are common as are referals to specialists. Before starting this...

I sent you a PM from my phone but not sure if you got it. Since I read that it is not a 24/7 place I would ask if after her evening treatments you can take her home, especially if she eats for you. Certainly you will have to keep her away from excessive stressor (other energenic dog). You can...

Dexamethasone and tetracycline combo is appropriate. It will be a few days before the jaundice subsides but normal temp./positive attitude (trying to bite veterinary staff is a good sign...isn't that what we all would do if strangers are sticking needles into us when we don't understand that...

4. Still running a fever? 5. Same, more or less jaundiced?

Don't want to step on any toes as we all practice differently..not good versus bad..just different. If she is not eating on her own by tomorrow I would actually ask my client to visit their pet. While it might be slightly upsetting for her when you leave sometimes seeing a familiar face is...

Sent you a PM. Sorry for typos in PM. Traveling in car and texting ( not while driving )
