Def talk to your vet about her meds. As they were prescribed for a condition that she currently does not have (Lactulose, Clavamox) they will more than likely be stopped. Important to verify this as Lactulose causes the bowel to empty quicker, this may not be ideal situation for the new meds, as they may break down in the bowel and maybe should remain there longer than what taking the Lactulose will allow. As I am not a vet, I cannot tell you to stop giving her those meds, but I can tell you it is very important to talk to your vet about it, so that her new meds can be most effective at this critical time in her treatment. I would also suggest holding onto the Lactulose, as it's a good med to have on hand when you have a pup with liver issues, as I believe her BAT results indicated she has MVD? Lactulose can be stopped with no ill effects (no weening off neccessary), Clavamox too, but your vet may want her to continue with it for a reason I may not be aware of. Most MVD cases are managed with low protein diets alone, and do well. Water can be added to her food to increase her intake if that is still an issue. Be sure to tell your vet about this also, as if she is dehydrated, he could give her fluids to help get her back on track quicker.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family and Miss Bella... this has definitely been a long road to have to travel down... Praying for a speedy recovery... |
