So he was fasted the night prior to his surgery? Then they drew blood for the Bile Acid Test, and fed him a meal. After two hours, they draw blood again.
Depending on what time they did the blood draws, and what time you picked him up, how long was he actually fasted?
When you took him home, food and water should be offered in small quantities. Did they tell you that? He was probably very thirsty but should only have been given small amounts at a time. If you didn't pick him up till late afternoon, they should have fed and watered him at the hospital.
If late when you picked him up, he probably hadn't gotten enough to eat throughout the day. At home he drank and drank... so at night he still had fluid to get rid of. His glucose was probably a mess, and a bunch of water just diluted everything. His body is way off track.
This morning, start by offering him small amounts of food and water, every two hours or so. See if that doesn't level him out some. He vomited yellow bile bc his stomach was empty. By 2 pm, offer him a bit more food and water, but don't let him have as much as he can eat or drink, still ration it out. ease up to his regular amount and offer him rationed water until he walks away without drinking the whole bowl.
I'd wait two months to repeat the Bile Acid Test. I wouldn't feed him any super high protein food, maybe 20% - 25% protein tops, till the BATS are repeated.
How's he doing this morning? |
