My dog, Georgie Girl, has had bloody stools for the past 12 months, despite multiple courses of antibiotics. She was checked for parasites and was negative. I suspect coccidiosis or IBD, but I'm more concerned after multiple antibiotic treatments. We live in a rural area with many vermin. What could be causing her condition and what steps should I take to address it?

My 19 lb mix dog, Chugs, has been experiencing severe diarrhea and is unable to keep food down. He held down a small amount of food today. The local vet suggested $400 worth of tests, but I believe the issue might be related to pesticides used on our neighbors' lawns. What can I do to help Chugs without extensive testing?
