Update on the poopin' situation... Bailey's doc decided to go ahead and get an x-ray done of her abdomen area to see if there was any blockage that might be causing her stressful poopin' episodes; there was no blockage showing in the x-ray. She had this done on Wednesday; today she went to the gastrologist. When viewing the x-ray, the gastrologist didn't see any blockage, but did feel a pretty hard stool waiting to come out, so she prescribed Miralax to see if that will help in getting Bailey to poop, which will most likely be diarrhea-like at first, but over time will hopefully progress into normal stools. We shall see what happens. The gastrologist also decided to have some blood drawn to check for anemia; she did see a little bit of blood when checking Bailey's rectum, and wanted to be sure all is okay; most likely it's from the skin rash on her butt cheeks, but thought it best to check and be sure. We headed to the lab after leaving her office; Bailey did pretty well through all of it. We're hoping to get this resolved soon.
I took this pic on Wednesday, after we got home from the radiologist's office.
I took this pic today, after we got home from seeing the gastrologist and going to the lab. You can see that they had trouble drawing blood... they had to try two times, once in each arm. She did pretty well, considering...
