Have you taken in another fecal sample for examination, Pinecone? She may have kicked the bacterial thing but have an imbalance of the gut fauna from the antibiotics. Have you tried a little bit of pumpkin in her food? Pure pumpkin (not the pie filling with sugar and spices added) is very good at firming up stools. A probiotic might be helpful, too. But your first step should be to have another fecal exam done to make sure the original problem is taken care of.

Likely the vet won't need to see her again--you can just drop the sample off. Cheaper that way, too.

You don't think she's reacting to her food, do you?
