Hi to All
Here is an Update
We did X-rays all Monday and one on Tuesday (5 X-rays with barium meal)
The first one was right after he ate the meal and it shows that the food he eats doesn’t stay in his stomach longer than 5 minutes (he is hungry all the time),the second one half hour later shows his food moved to his small intestines and is close to his bowel .The last 3 showed that his food stay in his bowel more than normal and on Tuesday morning was still there.
The food passage moves very quick in the beginning and very slow at the end.
He was diagnosed with IBD and Ulcerative colitis (which may not be chronic for now)
We need to restore and regulate his intestinal movement first . She(our vet) gave him vitamins shot and a medicine we call Nivalin , but he was kind of dizzy after that. So I called her and we agreed to live him for awhile (till Monday) bc for me he is a bit stressed from our every day visits to the vet.(I’m going to use this days to make him feel happy with more fun and positive activities)
She asked me if I can find Sulfasalazine ,Azulfidine (we don’t have it here, only for humans and the pills are 500mg ) And I couldn’t and now we have to find something else.
He is on a intestinal vet formula diet (canned ) but we will switch to dry Intestinal or sensitive.I also have to boil flax seeds and to give him just the water or flaxseeds powder.
He’s doing fine so far ,he is very brave little boy and I hope he will be a healthy one soon.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
If someone have experience on how to deal with IBD ,any suggestions and advise will be appreciated.
Thank you again
