Worried about Gracie

So maybe I worry too much and maybe not.  This morning Gracie and Charlie were playful and frisky.....a good sign I thought.  When it came time to eat Gracie seemed hungry, acted excited to get her "lunch", but then didn't really want to eat it.  I decided to go to the farmers market to get the ingredients to make a fresh batch of food, maybe something didn't taste right to her in this one, I'm just not sure.  After getting the ingredients I made a fresh batch, which takes some time.  She ate some of it, but was very picky about it and needs some coaxing for sure. I haven't been able to give her all the supplements over the last few days because her eating hasn't been good and I know the supplements can make her stomach upset, something we definitely want to stay away from right now. Gracie was throwing up and had bloody diarrhea so I called GVS and then went there with Gracie, she needed to start taking some additional drugs (trimeth/sulfa) to settle her upset intestinal tract (most likely her lower G.I.) We got home and I gave Gracie another Pepcid, her docs said to give her one every day, and waited about 30 minutes before trying to give her something to eat. I had some chicken breast and boiled carrots that I mixed together for her, just a litte, to see if she could eat it and keep it down. Gracie ate it and then went and crashed out, snoring in a deep sleep.  Charlie happily ate his dinner then went to check on Gracie before running out to bark at a squirrel on the back fence. I'm hoping this will be the settling turn around Gracie needs to get eating again and keep it all down.
