 Made a trip to the ER last night. . .
Looking for advice. . . last night I took my 10 month old,Mocha to the ER bcuz he hadn't been acting himself at all. To make a long story short, xrays and a chemistry blood test were done on him. The xrays were do to the fact that when the vet touched/squeezed his stomach, Mocha whinced a bit. The vet thought that maybe he had and obstruction/blockage. Thank goodness he didnt, however his stomach was FULL of gas, which in my opinion would explain why he wasn't acting himself. My question is, how or what is the best way to get rid of gas? Im not looking forward to the smell that may accompany the situation, but if if gives him some relief, I'm all for it.
Next question, the chemistry test came back stating that his kidney levels were slightly elevated. Anyone have any experience with this? The vet is not concerned about kidney failure and thinks its time to switch food that has less protein. I'm new to being a puppy parent and am ding my best to learn and educate myself about the best care I can give my little guy.
Thanks in advance for any help, comments or suggestions
