Hi there. My name is Amanda, and my boyfriend recently took in an APBT, Scarlett, though I am the one who takes care of her. Financially, we were not prepared for a sick dog, but my boyfriend's father's friend had her up until she was 11 months old, and asked us to then take her because he said his other pit was going after her so he'd have to keep her locked up. Something didn't sound right, and as soon as we got her (mid-July), she had diarrhea. He claimed it was from switching her foods so we tried giving her boiled chicken and white rice, and over a week the diarrhea became bloody. We brought her to the vet (the guy we got her from had no papers to supply us with, although he promised them at first) where she was tested for all kinds of parasites and put on metrazonidale- however you spell it- with no results. back to the vet twice after and still nothing. Just an expensive RX food for gstroentretic care and no answers. The only success we've had was when she was on Tylosin and her poop was more soft serve like and yellow, with little bits of blood. Sometimes she'll bend down to poop, and just little bits of blood will come out. Tylosin helped the most out of everything, but we still never saw a solid poop from her. Her blood tests only showed a high white blood cell count. She ran out of Tylosin 4 days ago and now has uncontrollable, explosive diarrhea. She never went in the house but now she'll just look at me and out it comes. She has gas where bits of poop come out, and she's gotten sick all over the bedding in her crate, which was never a problem before either. I'll take her out at 11pm and then at 6am when we wake up there's diarrhea all over her crate. We've spent so much at the vet and are trying to now fix this on our own. I recently ordered from petco, In Clover Fresh Digest Daily Intestinal Aid for Dogs and NaturVet Naturals All-in-One Dog & Cat Daily Supplement. they will be here today and I'm hoping they'll help, but I just don't know what else to do. She's such a happy dog, never any vomitting, and from my research, I believe she has IBS but I know I'm not a vet. My boyfriend is threatening to get rid of her and I am so scared. She is a beautiful, sweet natured dog but being so sick I'm afraid she'll just end up being put down. I know we need to go to the vet and I'm saving up for a trip to another one, believe me I feel like a real ******* for not being able to take her, but please share any advice anyone has or similar situations you've experienced. Thanks for your time
