Hi all, it has been a month since my last update and it has been full of drama. Unfortunately, my dog had a negative reaction to the high dose of prednisone and we are still tapering him off of it.
...
Thanks Sundance, unfortunately we did a hydrolyzed diet trial and it failed. So she does not feel that his issue is with the protein source.
I am considering getting a second opinion before...
The biopsy report came back. There is some mild gastritis with fibrosis (scarring - probably from chronic inflammation) in the stomach. The small intestine also had mild inflammation, but even less...
Hi all!
Yesterday was scope day. Visually, everything looked very normal. She took some biopsies and those should be back early next week. The specialist is very frustrated. She said she really...
Thanks for the mojo.
Blacklabbies, May I ask how your dog was finally diagnosed with EPI? Also, did his or her symptoms wax and wane? Can you give me more info about his symptoms?
My dog will...
“I have never seen a case quite like this before.” That was somewhat unsettling to hear and yes, I did cry!
Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, the ultrasound was normal. They sent the blood to...
I mean Ain’t Doing Right. 😩 I use NQR for horses = Not Quite Right
Thank you. He has had the pancreatic enzyme test. I’m pretty sure that is part of the Texas A and M GI panel. That is going to be related today as the last one was in Sept of 2018. I just dropped him...
Hi all. I got my puppy at 8 weeks old and he has struggled with GI issues Starting at 4 months old, or I should add 4 months is when I realized he wasn’t feeling well and not just a sleepy puppy....
Hi all,
I just got off the phone with my vet who told me that yes, if not chewed, it can sometimes pass through without dissolving. She also told me not to worry about it taking 48hr.
I asked...
Thank you, kimbersmom. I was wondering if it did have to rattle around for a while because of the shape of the intact chew. Dear lord....this dog is really like no other!
Me too, samsonsmom! In my googling, I saw some complaint from someone that their dog tested positive for Heartworm and Heartguard said that that can happen if they don’t chew up the chew to get all...
I will keep you posted! Perhaps, because it didn’t get chewed? The edges were definitely eroded. (Yes, I’m a poop inspector)
BUT, 48 hr later??? I’d be less concerned if it was more like 24.
Ok, this is very weird and I’m wondering if anyone has had this happen. I gave my boy his HeartGuard with his dinner 5/7. Yesterday, 48 hours later, it came out WHOLE. Obviously, he didn’t chew and...
Thanks all, I thought heart too, but she was at the vet for her check up a couple months ago and I mentioned it and he told me her heart and Lungs both sound like a 6 year old dogs. So who knows what...
Hi all, sorry this is such a heavy topic. I have a soon to be 15 year old female. She is doing well for the most part, eating, and even having mini zoomies when I come home from work, but she really...
I am so sorry to hear this. I have also thrown myself the ED pity Party. It just plain sucks. He is so lucky to have such a devoted Momma!!! I know you’ll do anything you can to keep him comfy....
My breeder said she will take him back at anytime, but no financial help :( she’s a friend of mine and I don’t feel like it’s worth throwing a fit over. The important thing is, he’s being taken care...
He had surgery Monday and I was shocked how good he looked on Tuesday when I picked him up. He was in Galliprant, tramadol and keflex, but I think the Galliprant was upsetting his tummy. So they...
My previous dog had a few treatments. I can’t say if it helped or not because In the end we believe he had some form of spinal cancer, but I will say he seemed to enjoy the treatments. My vet clinic...
Thank you all. I just hope I’m doing the right thing for him. It’s good to hear there have been some good outcomes here as I’ve read every horror story the internet can offer. im willing to do...
Well, several months back I posted a thread about pano in my puppy, who was 4 months old. for some reason had a feeling there was more than pano going on. I have this weird “gift” I guess, only it’s...
Ugh I’m so sorry to hear. If you are on Facebook there are a couple ED groups. One is public and one is private. There is a lot of good info there..many people have been through multiple surgeries...
Oooh. I hoped he’d be good as new! Good luck!!!! Hoping for the best possible news.
