-could be a virus (if it was a virus, wouldn't London throw up food too, not just bile?)
-administered some fluids for hydration just in case
-sent us home with Cerenium to prevent vomiting (I'm not worried about the vomit, I'm worried about the underlying cause of the vomit)
-sent us home with Metronizadole an antibiotic for her digestive track (I'm reluctant to give London an antibiotic she doesn't need if the real problem is feeding schedule)
-Also did mini-chem pre-op bloodwork today because London will be spayed in a couple weeks.
Geez, next time I will wait for the senior vet if it's not life threatening.
Also London's weight increased from 4lbs 6 oz a month ago to 6 lbs today! Vet says the new weight is healthy. I can't believe she gained so much weight so quickly. |
GEEZE vets are SO quick to give meds. if i were you- i would give her neither of those- we've been there- we know- her tummy is probably just empty. Layla used to do this EVERY morning- now before bed she gets 1 tsp of fat free yogurt with 1 tsp of baby food fruit- no more puking
Try either free feeding or giving her more frequent meals BEFORE you do the meds- they are honeslty just going to mess up her little system even more.
