While I was waiting in the exam room for the vet she started to drool. I have literally never seen that before.. First thing he checked was her mouth.. There was a lot of clear stuff coming up from her stomach in the back of her throat. He said based on her current housing situation, no pets in the house, no exposure etc., she picked up something from a sick rat. I was not able to get a stool sample but he said he wouldn't jump to the conclusion of parasites. Said we can test if I want but she'll be getting baytril injections twice a week to start and then down to once a week for a bit. Unsure of the timeframe but will test for parasites if this doesn't improve. He used a bunch of words that I don't recall but basically said it's a stomach bug.
On to a nice surprise... since her feeding response has been so strong lately I decided to try a f/t asf and she took it immediately. They run smaller than her usual size but I'll just do two at a time. Hopefully it wasn't a one-off and she will continue to take them.
