Valkyrie went to the veterinary hospital today. She has been pooping liquid crap for a couple of weeks now. I haven’t taken her to the doctor sooner because in every other respect she has been well. She runs and plays, is active and alert, is eating and generally being herself. I tried eliminating different foods from her diet, as the start of food-trials to determine if one kind is causing a problem, but so far, that has not worked. And if it were something in the nutrition that is bothering her insides, then it is a sudden change, as she hasn’t been eating anything new.
She is currently eating a gastro-intestinal food which, surprisingly, she likes. It is being laced with Metamucil - or a local brand of that product, since I couldn’t find a variety of Metamucil that wasn’t flavoured. To my further surprise, Valk is eating that, too.
We will keep her on this routine for the weekend, and see if there is any improvement. Though I am pleased that she is eating the veterinary food, I have my doubts as to whether this will cure her problem.
As an aside, it was difficult to take a picture of Miss V at the hospital as she was nervously on the move the whole time.
Poor Valk. I hope the cause of her runny stools is quickly found and that she feels better soon.
