[nagdu] tips and tricks for dealing with diarrhea

[Marsha Drenth]

It might, not sure if she would leave the bag alone either. Vet is
prescribing the meds to firm up her stools, trying to find a ride to the
vets office. He also is wanting to try a less expensive powder on her food
for pups who have chronic diarrhea. He said there was no guarantees if that
powder will work. 

*sigh*

Marsha, 
Would a toileting harness help you? You'd have to leave it on her with the
bag, and I don't o if she'd let it alone.
