She vomited everything from bile to food to liquid; No set pattern.....
July 4th, diarrhea and went thru July 6th. July 7th took her to the vet and she was put on Flagyl and Speical food (canned ID). Threw up every day July 9th - July 16th. During those days the diarrhea subsided. July 17 & 18th, no vomit; no diarrhea. July 19th vomited; July 19th was the last Flagyl pill. July 20th; no vomit, but diarrhea back. July 20th I THINK I started her on hamb/rice and fed her that thru July 31st. 21st and 22nd bad diarrhea; 24th diarrhea and no vomit; 25th and 26th no vomit or diarrhea; 27th no vomit; but soft poo (101.7 temp). 28th vomit and bad diarrhea; 29th - 31st same....horrible days.
Sept 1 started new food purina nf and Flagyl again; diarrhea on 9/1; 9/2 vomited twice and poo was soft (not liquid); 9/3 SOFT poo and vomit x3; 9/4 took her off Flagyl - Diarrhea in a.m. and late aft stool was soft but formed. 9/5 soft stool; late in day more firm but bloody; no vomit. I believe the first time I saw blood in her stool was the 31st of August.
8/24 Chem Profile 2; Chem 12; CBC & Lytes was done. Only thing abnormal was the BUN at 38; Creatinine was Normal.
9/4 they put her on Batryl because urinalysis on 9/1 detected triple phosphate crystals present; calcium oxalate crystals present (turb 1+)(PH 7.0); Under notes it says: Droplets resembling fat seen per HPF.
Okay, so 6 am this a.m., she woke up ready to vomit; I rubbed her neck and took her outside.....she did not vomit. I fed her a small amoiunt of NF canned food...no vomit today; stool is formed but soft and some blood
A lot of the time her stool is thin like a pencil.....
She scratches her ears and her chin allllllll the time and she'll keep rolling on her back in the grass as if to scratch her back. I'm SOOOOOOOO hoping all this is from a food allergy. They don't know for sure if it's colitis (parasites ruled out) or a food allergy and/or the kidney issue. I think they are as confused as I am. Also, they mentioned an intestional infection because of the fecal test showing bacerial overgrowth.
Has anyone out there reading this ever experienced a combination of what Autumn is going thru?
Her D.O.B. is 8/10/08 and she weighs just under 5 lbs. She's very active and loves to play. She does nap a lot, but I think that's pretty normal. |
if her poop is like a pencil she has inflammatory bowel disease as that is how my ibd dog poops as the intestines are inflamed - purina ha is the food you need to have her on -- she is vomitting and diarhea as her entire intestinal tract is inflamed which is colitis or ibd and my guess is ibd -- ok i have dealt with both and the blood in stool is colitis so here is what i did when one of my yorks had colitis -- I soaked the kibble down for 30 days as what is happening is she cannot digest it properly and i would do purina ha as it is a hydrolized diet so easier to digest. I put some water in bowl as this food does not come wet then put in micro with food for 20 seconds let it sit and expand until soft and then strain and feed as any time you give food it is inflaming the entire intestinal tract so she either vomits or diarhea so you need to calm the intestines down and it will take 30 days or so as colitis when they are doing both vomitting and diarhea it means everything is inflamed both large and small intestines. Also i used probiotics in am 30 min before food so go get dds plus from vitamin shop it is a non dairy probiotic -- Do this for a couple days and you will see improvement if not then i recommend tylan powder as it has an anti-inflammatory in it and antibiotic. I was able to get her back on tract after 30 days but it does take time as this is exactly what i went through when my dd had a reaction to metacam and it messed up her entire intestinal tract. If you want to talk pm me and we can talk as it is colitis if it is yellow jelly poops with blood in it and then if she is vomitting bile and food -- i was extremely frustrated as i told vet i wanted tramadol as my dog was on steroids and we fought and i went with what he suggested and he jacked up my dog for 2 mos as metacam can affect the intestines and he gave it on an empty stomach too- both huge no nos
