Well, Sadie’s vet got back to me yesterday and said her stool sample was clear of everything. I’m really perplexed. So they said give it a few more weeks, and if it hasn’t gone back to normal (in looks - sorry) they’ll do some bloodwork. I’m relieved she’s okay, and since she’s eating, drinking, and acting fine I’m not too alarmed, but it’s been over a month. I’m going to start giving her a probiotic every other day. I’ve got to go back to the pharmacy today. They shorted me a whole box of migraine medicine the last time I was there, so they have to make up for that. I’ve had pharmacies make bigger mistakes than that; once, a different pharmacy gave me a bottle of medicine with no label at all. What’s going on with you guys?

That's great about dear Sadie. Wow. Some sun is peeking through right now. Rufus and I are going to go pick up Beau's heart meds sooner than later. Whoopie. And I must gas up the car or today won't be boring.

@AmbiePam Thanks! The trip was pretty boring though I did stop at the store and some treats jumped into my cart all by themselves.

Glad to know Sadie's OK. I was pretty sure she was from what you described. I am just sitting here drinking a can of Poppi the low cal prebiotic soda. A 4 pack was 3.99 at Ollie's. Pretty good when it is usually 2.29 per can

I don’t understand why her poop is a different color and not solid though. It’s been a month.

@snowy22315 It was as soon as she got back from my friend’s so no doubt she had different treats, but that was November, and her treats now are the same as they were. All her food is the same. but I looked at a poop chart just now and it says digestive issues. No surprise, but how do I fix that? I guess I’ll keep trying the pumpkin.

@AmbiePam Has her diet changed at all? Is she eating different treats or something? Did you look online at a poop chart to see if is normal?

That's very irresponsible. How can they do that to people? It is very alarming. Did the pharmacy management not know about their employees' negligence?

@luisadannointed I think they did. I believe he actually got moved from the day shift to the overnight shift, which was a demotion.

I complained to their corporate office the time they gave me medicine without a label, and got a phone call from someone who sounded like they were afraid they were going to get sued. I told them I wasn’t interested in suing anyone.

@AmbiePam But I hope they got reprimanded that can make them feel more responsible.

I'm glad the vet didn't find anything wrong and I hope you're worried over nothing. Walmart Pharmacy used to screw up our medications every once in a while, too. It was always a pain but they did fix the mistakes. So far, we haven't had any real problem with this new-to-us pharmacy. But we've only been using them about a year now. Freedom Care, the people who pay Pretty to help me when I can't see, called for their monthly evaluation and woke me up... So I'm awake for a while now but am still sleepy. I'm just catching up on notifications and new discussions and will go back to sleep. I hope you're having a nice morning. (It's still looking nasty outside but it's not raining/storming, at least.)

You've had heck with the pharmacy haven't you? They shorted me half a month of pills once and I was hot. I spent three hours on the phone with them yelling at them, and telling them to check thier cameras and then someone got fired because they pocketed the pills.

I woke up this morning not feeling well at all--fine except that I feel like I'm going to be sick. I'm going to get some reading done in a bit.

I know pumpkin is good for dogs and helps their digestion. I used it for my dog a few times. Just something to consider. I'm glad her stool came back good. I'm sorry the pharmacy shorted you a bod os migraine medicine.

Yes, and I just got some pumpkin supplement so it is perfect timing. Only, she won’t eat it. I’ll keep trying though.

Has Sadie's food been changed at all? Sometimes it doesn't take much to make differences in all sorts of things.

She might have had some unfamiliar treats at my friend’s, but that was at the end of November. She’s had her normal stuff since. I am though, keeping a close watch on every single thing that goes into her mouth, just in case.

Just got home from getting mammogram done, already got results and they're fine, and lunch at Outback Steakhouse.
