I want an answer. I already spent all my money doing the previous tests that proved nothing..and i have a feeling taking him to purdue would cost a ton, but if im going to get a second opinion, i want it to be the best. Purdue University has a veterinary diagnostics department, so that seems to me to be MAYBE the only option left. I dont know what else to do..i am sick of trying diff foods and feeding methods..i want to KNOW what he has that is causing this so i can treat it properly...and if that is feeding slower, so be it..but i want to KNOW what his condition is..i cant take it anymore i hate things with no answers..so i refuse to admit that there isnt one! |
yeah i am like you i want answers and why this allergy situation with my dd drives me crazy as there is no real cure just trying to keep her comfortable and it stinks so i know how you feel. Honestly at this point you may have to have him scoped
How long has this been going on for? I would call vet and discuss on monday - have you been writing everything down and logging when he vomits etc if so i would fax that all to vet and see if he can discuss with internal medicine specialist. When dex was off and on vomitting and we were trying to figure it all out the ims told me i had two options scope him or put him on purina ha as last food to try so i went with food and thank goodness it worked - had it not worked i would have had to scope him to confirm ibd before they would treat him with medication like steroids but due to his pancreatitis i was very scared to do prednisone as that can trigger pancreatitis as well so i had a very touchy situation and had spent 10k over a year getting him treated off and on for vomitting and pancreatitis so she said this is most likely ibd but unless he is scoped we cannot give a firm diagnosis but she believed this was what was going on. It is true dex held the food down a bit before he vomitted it up BUT with colitis my dee dee vomitted the food immediately up after eating and they can have stress colitis in small intestines. Remeber the more frustrated you get the more it stresses him out and believe me it is really hard not to get stressed when they are sick i totally understand that.
