Pooh's poos

Poor little Pooh Bear has been battling with diarrhea for over two weeks now. I finally had to give up my pseudo-diagnosing and take her in to the vet today after she had a second accident in the house and seemed sleepier than normal. $80 later, we found out that she's got a Clostridium infection. Clostridia is a bacteria that is normally present in the small intestine, but certain changes (i.e. a change in diet- probably what happened in Winnie's case) can cause it to produce a toxin, which in turn can cause diarrhea.

So, Boo is stuck home from daycare for a few days while her antibiotics knock out her infection. Come visit her and give her some love!
