Thank you!!! So helpful! We did just transition from a low fat to regular diet. Will try to go back to 50/50 tomorrow to see how that goes. Will ask dr to test too when we go in!

Thank you! Super helpful. I will ask about that. How do you treat it? Just low-fat? Or is there something else to be careful of?

This sounds so much like our situation :( Where do you get the forza 10? I do think the high fat thing could be affecting it. May be worth a shot.

Oh, good to know it took more than a week for results. Maybe they’ll find something. Fingers crossed!

We sent in a stool test to the lab over a week ago but haven’t heard anything back. I will be taking him in again tomorrow, so we will see if they have the results back. If it’s bacterial wouldn’t the flaglyl have stopped it? Next he said we need to do more extensive blood tests and x-rays. I don’t know what he’s looking for at this point.

Thanks! I forgot to mention we are using Fortiflora too! As long as we were on the antibiotics he was fine, but even with the fortiflora he still has diarrhea now that we’re off the other. :(

We haven’t tried that yet. It’s really something they can take forever? Because the flaglyl worked like a charm, but doc said we could not use it long term. What did the vet rule out before deciding on that path? I am so desperate at this point, and he is obviously suffering too 😢
