The vet said a diet change shouldn't be necessary. He's been on Canidae since he was a baby.
He did suggest trying boiled chicken and rice. We also bought some baby food that consists of only ground chicken and chicken broth. He licked it off my husband's finger last night and acted like he liked it...was also able to keep it down so that was some progress! When I tried to get him to drink the 50:50 powerade/water this morning, he acted really thirsty and lapped it up (I stopped him when I was afraid he was getting too much), only to throw some of it back up 15-20 minutes later. But, we think he drank more than he vomited so that's good. We're going to try ice cubes for awhile for hydration.
As of now, he's held his Flagyl medication down for 25 minutes so maybe we're getting better! Gonna' try the chicken and rice tonight. Please continue to pray for him! It's so hard seeing him hurt! |
