I took him out for a walk and while barking at another dog he started to cry out in pain. We held off for a little bit just to observe him and he would whimper when we would pick him up and he had a hard abdomen. Rushed him to the vet and they put him on IV and antibiotics. He had high lipase and white blood cell so they did a PLI and it came back negative for pancreatitis? I was happy at first, but then I realized that there may be something else going on. Anyhow, he seemed to make another full recovery from whatever it was. We came home and the vet thought that it may be his food. We slowly switched to HIlls W/D (allergen free) and he seemed to be doing fine. It's now 2 weeks later and he started to act funny again. I took him outside and while barking at another dog he started to cry out in pain. Again we took him to the vet quickly (because of his history, i dont think twice about a gut instinct) and he gave us some pain killers and antibiotics. He now thinks it could be adhesions from the surgery? I just have this horrible feeling that it's something very major and i dont feel like the vets are taking it seriously/acting fast enough. Does anyone recognize these symptoms? |
Oh boy! IDK - it could be an adhesion from surgery, but why is not all the time??? Can you get a second opinion?
For Roxy the Sucralfate and Famotidine helped her with the Gas Pains and tummy upset.
