Hi it's Christine,
I've done lots of research on ECE before I took Popples to the vet, I myself stongly thought it was ECE but my vet only did one test, Popples had the seedy stooles,etc.. today his stooles are looking a little better but you never know right. When his pills of Baytril are done his due for a check up.The vet never gave a staight answer on what could of caused it or what it is only that it's an infection in the lower intestines, do you know how this could have happenned? i've only had him for a week and when I baught him from the Pet store he was already sick but I thought it was from the change of food, I don't know what the pet store had him eating before.He's loss some weight in that week also, and it dosen't seems like digesting his food properly either.
