So I put a call into WSU and they are going to find her records and call me hopefully tomorrow. How is Bella today ? did you call about her Omep dose ? I'm sure she's not getting enough. |
She hasn't been drinking water for weeks now and I was concerned until someone said that the wet L/D food I'm feeding her now has more moisture in it than the dry food I was feeding her before. Do you think it's because she does need to go out more often now to potty or is it because she can't control her bladder anymore?
We called and talked to the neuro today. He said she's fine with the dosage she's on and doesn't think it's a good idea to up the dose because too much can cause stomach cancer. He said more of the dosage wouldn't decrease the fluid any more than what it is doing now.
