My new adopted Chihuahua has regular stools, then diarrhea, and then a clear liquid with gelatinous blood in it. She does not want to eat today and is lethargic. Tests in July by SPCA showed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and IBS. I am feeding her Blue Buffalo Turkey and potato for small breeds, but she has horrible gas after eating. What food should I give her and what about probiotics?

My 12-year-old Italian Greyhound has been experiencing repeated unilateral epistaxis (nose bleeds) on the left side, especially when excited.
