I just now logged on to your site and your blog. I noticed the day of this thread/post and thought it felt strangely familiar. It was the day after Lily left us. I wanted to thank you and your partners and staff for caring for and loving our pets as we do. Even in the face of sorrow and a tough part of the job, you make us (clients) feel cared for and nurtured as we say "Until we meet again" to our beloved companions. Thanks you!! Hey, Nan.

Parker is exhibiting signs of some kind of intestinal parasite. He is on Interceptor year-round and has had giardia in the past. Will a fecal be a true diagnostic, is it necessary to know for sure before treating him, and would otc Flagyl be effective. I'm trying to go the most cost-effective route without risking Parker's well being at all. He has had quite a bit of loose stool that, however, can be attributed to getting into the new cat food which he has taken a liking to, eating rodents from the fields (these he threw up whole), and who knows what else. He does, however, seem to be losing weight. He has also started eating dirt from my potted plant that I just brought inside. His appetite has been good until the last few days, but the rodents may explain that. My gut is telling me it is more than "dietary indescretion." We are pretty strapped financially now, so like everyone else, we want to be as cost effective as possible. What is your best advice? Thanks and best wishes, Valerie Legare taterlegare@earthlink.net 309-264-3411 Hi Dr. Hayes,
