Jill's a bit low this morning so I'm glad to see green after a few days, but wondering how low she got late last night. She still has terrible diarrhea. The vet said to finish the Albon - 3 days left. One of the side effects of Albon is diarrhea! Luckily her appetite is good.

Is there anything else I can try?

Are you giving a probiotic while you're giving the Albon. I've used Florastor and S. Boulardii. I've bought capsules and divided them into smaller capsules, so I'm giving about 1/4 of the capsule at a time. You don't want to give it at the same time as the Albon. It's best to give about 2 hours apart if you are able to.

I'm giving her Proviable in the evening and she gets the Albon in the morning.

It was Ok to shoot at 61, right? eek.

Yes it was. With TR you can shoot any number over 50 if you can monitor.

Proviable doesn't have S. Boulardii. I have used S. Boulardii for Budge when giving medicines that could cause GI issues.

Assuming I can find S. Boulardii, how much do I give? @carfurby

Florastor has S. boulardii, the probiotic touted for diarrhea, and is sold at Walmart and grocery stores--Kroger, Publix, etc. Hope you find it and it helps.

It's weird that she's going up and not down, right? Her nadir used to be +3 or +4, now I have no idea.

She was probably green all night and started a bounce this morning. You could've stopped testing at +3!

In hindsight I could have slept more
At what point do they typically stop bouncing? We’re no strangers to greens.

ECID! Some faster and some never. Some bounce all the way to remission!
