Ok I am really starting to worry. Since Friday and we began the supplements andddddddd...I gave her a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of the raw food (NV) starting Friday evening. The problem here is raw and supplements all started on Friday. So TOO much all at once to narrow this down to why this is happening. The "small amounts" of bile Sadie has been throwing up began Saturday evening. I Stopped the RAw sunday morning so if I had to give you an estimate on how much she has consumed i would say maybe 1/2 teas TOTAL over 3 days- I did not give her more than a aspirin size piece literally- I was that careful.
I have noticed that she is drinking a lot of water. the reason I have noticed this is because I had been paying attn to the amount of water they have been drinking since the specialist asked me at our last visit if I had noticed them drinking a lot of water. Sometimes the bowl barely looked as if they drank any. very very little. Now- they both are drinking more water and when I check the bowl it's almost gone. This has never been this way... Husband thinks maybe the supplements are causing her to drink more water since she barely had any raw...only 3 times... and she is still doing the same thing. This has got to be from the supplements upsetting her tummy. But I don't know for sure???
And Sadie is gulping water too when she drinks it. Since I have been home tonight she has vomited bile again for the 3 rd time in 1 hour. and exactly 1 hr after eating. And then what she does- is she immediately wants to eat the vomit as fast as she can. The last time I couldn't get her away from it fast enough we were outside and she vomited on the grass. And she ate it again. I tried to get the water bottle that I keep out there to water it in the grass bc it was the only way I could get rid of it. Again just now again on the patio- my husband just hosed it off.
The only thing that is keeping me sane is the fact that she is still playful. Crazy to be exact. Is her tummy bothering her and all the running around upsetting her tummy more???
Because she could also be just laying down and then she will get up to walk in the kitchen and then just yak. Sometimes I have noticed her coughing it up in her mouth but not getting any on the floor. i could just hear her swallowing it. I did not give them the kidney supplement this morning bc I was starting to think....ok no raw since Sunday morning....and she is still getting sick. So tonight I decided maybe i will just give them the supplement once a day. I did not give it this morning. I also have not given the liver supplement yet bc it just seemed like to much to give all at one time. I don't know why I felt that way??? I just did. I am still using the RX Enzyme.. am and pm... it seems to have helped a little. I HAVE noticed that Samie's stool is a lot smaller. Like half the size it has been. Sadie's stool is maybe a little more firm but still not as firm as I would like it to be.
I have to get all of my records in order for Susan. there are so many tests and labs and urinalysis's done for both dogs since June. I literally have started my 2nd giant 3-ring binder.
I sat outside tonight and I told my husband. I just can't worry anymore. I am making myself crazy. I literally am to the point where I just don't know what to do? I know I need to call Susan, I am going to get everything in order and send the form to work so I can fill it out in as much detail as possible and contact Susan Davis.
Please understand that I want to do this. It's just picking a night where my husband and I can both be home from work at a reasonable hour at the SAME time. Because I want him here when I talk to her. Our work schedules keep conflicting and tonight he worked late. He has talked to the specialist more than I have and I mainly have just spoke to the specialists assistant through emails. So I want him here in case I don't know something Susan asks me and I also want him to just be here anyways. Not to mention 100 labs and tests and documentation I have to get together.
So at this point, I don't know if I could give her a pepcid a/c and it would calm her stomach and stop the little bouts of when she puks up bile. (its very sticky btw, foamy and sticky) I am assuming this "is" bile only from what i have read on YT. She doesn't look like she doesn't feel At all to me. She is acting her normal self. But out of the blue she just gets up and puks. ?????????? She does not look like she needs to be seen at the emergency vet.... BUT I have got to call in the am and talk to the holistic vet and ask if this could be from the supplements.
I am discontuing everything except the RX enzme. It HAS to be helping her. In the mean time, I am working on finding a time to do the consult. And trying not to have a nervous breakdown from all of this constant worrying. |
Oh my you and I need to talk may I ask who Susan is?What is her place with your dogs? i am just catching this thread
