Thank you for submitting your question regarding PeggySue. I am sorry that you have not yet received an answer to your question. What type of surgery did she have? Were the antibiotics for something related to surgery? The stool appears formed. If she is eating and drinking and acting like herself, I would not be too concerned about the color. If you are unhappy with her veterinarian though, then I would consider seeking a second opinion. This can help with future care and resolving any unresolved issues from her surgery. Good luck!
