Recurring Diarrhea - Please help?!

[alie]

Hi all,
over the last couple of months we have been having a few problems with Gloomy, namely traces of blood in her urine (which seems to have cleared up now) and recurring diarrhea.

Each time we have have seen these symptoms we have had her to the vets immediately and while we have had numerous tests done, they have not been able to find anything other than an initial urinary tract infection, sludge in her system and and told us that she seems to be quite gassy.

We have had her on treatments (antibiotics, etc) which seem to have reduced the blood in her urine, however she is having repeated episodes of very wet/sloppy diarrhea and we are not sure what to do about it.
She is still quite active and her coat is still very healthy, but it is still a worrying problem.
All three of the girls are eating the same foods however the others are not affected.
Could anyone with any ideas please help?

im not an expert and im sure one of the other girls will be along soon to give you some great suggestions. Maybe shes more sensitive. maybe offer her banana b/c it can constipate ( same thing in humans) not to actualy constipate her but to try and get it firmed up.

we followed a peter gurney method to firm up the poo last time which helped and gave her re-hydrating salts just in case as well. will suss out the banana option.

if it is food sensitivity, she did seem very sensitive to very fresh spinach, but now it is happening with the veg (cos lettuce, carrot, capsicum, broccoli, celery leaves, ect) she has been feed since we got her a year ago.

we have changed hay and pellets to reduce the calcium intake which would affect the amount of sludge in her system, this seems to have reduced it and how much is coming out in her urine too.

the diarrhea seems to getting more frequent though. so it would be good to find out why its happening so were not just treating the symptoms.

im also unsure as to what tests to ask our vet to do in order to rule out causes and pin point the real cause.
