She got a blood and fecal exam. That with the parvo test will be $252 total. It could be worms too cuz she hasn't really ever been dewormed cuz she threw it up. I was planning to do it at their spay. They are kinda concerned about Giardia. My stepmom put it on her Cares credit card for me, and I can just make payments to her.

If she needs worming you can use a spot on like advocate for her then she won't bring it up or a paste like panacur!
Has she been vaccinated?? I would ask about kennel cough they get all those symptoms if it is then I would suggest getting Bella the bordatella vaccination. It's easily contracted in high dog areas like the park we had a massive case last year so I didn't take my dogs to that parkfor 6 months

Yes, they both had their 3 DAPP shots each, and they are supposed to get their rabies shot on the 28th.. Also.. She lost weight. Friday she was 3.2 something, today she's 3 lbs even.. They said she's underweight..  |

I think it was 3 oz that she lost, cuz it was .2 lbs that she lost. I really hope it's something easy to fix.. |

Can you make a really mild paste of pedialyte, beech nut chicken baby food, and yogurt and syringe it into her?
I'd do about 1.5 cups of pedialyte, 1 small jar of the beech nut chicken baby food, and a tablespoon of yogurt. If you have a Petco, buy some Naturvet anti-diarrhea aid. Its like pepto for dogs. Add 3 tablespoons of that to the mixture if you can get it. Blend it well and give her 15 CC (that's like 3 teaspoons) every 4 hours. In between, I'd do a syringe or two of plain pedialyte every 2 hours. Warm the mixture to room temperature as cold food will only bring her body temp down. I'd also pick up a thermometer and ky jelly and take her temp at least 2x a day. I'm glad its not parvo!
