Rubie is going to be ok! Samantha and I took her the vet yesterday for her first visit. Her whole problem has been worms. The vets assistant said she had never seen so many worm eggs in one small sample and that she is totally infested. Ruby is on an antibiotic (in case she has an infection from them), for a week has to have a "prescription" food (which she surprising likes) and was dewormed. They also gave me the deworming medicine to give her every week for a month.



I see the difference in her already. She is much more active. Her poops are getting better too - disregarding the worms that are coming out....
So - she is back on track and I'm so happy!

Thanks for all the advice from everyone - it is much appreciated. Lisa who is not a doctor and doesn't play one on TV, diagnosed Rubie's problem perfectly!
