Hi all!
So, Gracie has a bladder infection and is currently about halfway through a 10-day course of Clavaseptin. It's given her the textbook side effect: diarrhea. Well, very soft poop with a soft-serve-ice-cream consistency. So far, it's still semi-solid, not totally liquid.
I picked up some FortiFlora probiotic powder from the vet, which she lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrves, but I'm not seeing much improvement in her "output." ;-)
Is there ANYTHING I can give her, food- or treat-wise, to help firm up her poops? She has floofy haunches prone to... erm... poop smears, which neither she nor I enjoy much.
Googling has netted slim results. Gracie's also a very finicky eater and I'm about 95% sure she won't touch pumpkin... though she does like Weruva's Junk in the Trunk flavour, which has some pumpkin in it.
The antibiotics have only verrrrry slightly curbed her appetite, and she's still eating (50/50 wet/dry) and drinking regularly, so that's a relief.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
