Milk causes me to get bad gas. That could be the crampy, full, churning feeling. Maybe a gas-x would help. Couldn't hurt. I'll be praying for Sammie too. I am such an animal lover. I am so weird I don't even like to call my Katie a dog. I call her baby. She is truly like my baby. When I first adopted her from the local shelter, I had to get up at night and rock her because she had kennel cough. It is the only thing that would ease her. Then we dealt with Parvo 2 weeks later. Nice shelter huh! She is doing great and I love her dearly. I commend you on doing what you are doing with her. Some vets scream the dreaded 'put them down.' That is not an option for me. I just couldn't do it. I would do all that I could do.
