Yorkie with newly discovered servere IBD Hi all,
Our little man, Diesel, has had problems with vomiting and diarrhoea for some months now together with large amounts of food going undigested through his system. I originally thought he had something wrong with his pancrease as his stools were bright yellow, and he kept throwing up bile. After several visits to the vet's, he finally had a blood test which ruled out any pancrease problems, but lead the vet to believe he had IBD. The vet took a biopsy from his stomach and intestines last Thursday and he had a full scan just to be sure. The scan showed there was no tumors growing (thank god!) and my vet could see through the endoscope that there was a problem in his small intestines which he feels is caused by a hyposensitive stomach. Unfortunately, my vet didn't have the food he wanted to give Diesel, so we continued him on boiled chicken and rice. Since Thursday he has regained most of his energy back. However, I picked up his prescription food today, gave him two portions, and he has took a step backwards. While out on his walk he had a really bad case of diarrhoea, it was like yellow milkshake. I'm not sure what to do now? The vet has put him on purina HA. Is this a normal reaction? Do I continue feeding him with the same food or should I call the vet?
I would be so grateful if anyone had any advice.
Many thanks,
