Thanks Calgal !!!!!!!!!!! Ended Up I Took Her To Another Vet, There Was A Small Pallep Near The Rear Of Her But Inside, She Supressed It An Blood Came Out,but She Said It Could B That A Little Blood Clot Formed There,we'll C If It Comes Back In 10 Days When I Go Back.......she Also Told Me It Could B Cancer,if It Comes Back Then Its Probly Cancer. She Explained Everything To Me,i'm Not Good At Explainning This, But I Am Very Satified With Her, An Today My Dog Is Doing Sooooooooo Much Better. She Also Changed The Meds An Put Her On Canned R/d. I Know This Can Always Come Back,an That Scars Me,cause I Hate To Have Si Sick ........i Read Your Site U Sent An I Have It Saved......thank U So Much For Being Concerened Enuf To Send That......hopefully Its Just Colitis, An Not Cancer,we'll C What Happens,thank You Soooooooooo Much Again,connieo
