Got a call from the vet today and she got the results from his last apt saying he tested positive for Colitis. I was relieved to have a diagnosis and also to hear it wasn't anything more serious.
Colitis in dogs (I am sure is the same as in people) is the irritation to the large intestine. Casey will have to be on an antibiotic probably for life, but later on a maintenance dose and also have a diet change where he will have high fiber. I go tomorrow to get the prescription and talk more about what our response to all this will be. My poor boy has been suffering for so long. I am so happy in hopes we will get this taken care of. 7 years and finally a diagnosis!!!
