She fed well till three weeks ago when all the trbl started.. she would kick scream n arch backwards acting like when she had her colic episodes.. noticed her stools would be greenish wth a paste consistently lumpy thing in it rest of the stool would be normal... For two weeks doctor has tried all meds like carmicide, coliaid, ibugesic plus n now Digeplex drops but nothing is working... No improvement... Doctor called for stool routine test. The concerning thing in her result is below:- Stool is alkaline however there r 8-10 pus cells along wth some reducing substance present n macrophages present n Epithelial Cells occasional .... No signs of occult blood or RBC... Is this an infection?? We maintain up most hygenie .. confused abt her condition
