I wil try to be brief. Our little yorkie girl is 12 years old and was vomiting on Tue, I took her to the Vet and they ran a blood test and gave her a anti voimit shot to stop the vomiting along with meds to give her at home. Her Bun was 85 ( 72 or below is normal on their chart), her cretinine was elevated also. Wed she received fluids. They did a repeat test on Friday and the creatinine was 1.3 (within their normal range) and bun is 75, decreasing but still high, there were other levels that were slightly elevated previously, but have returned to a normal range. Her uranalysis was normal, perfect the vet said, comparable to a much younger dog. She seems bettter, we have ceased the Rimadyl. However, she has become picky in her eating habits, trying to keep her on rice and chicken for her stomach, she prefers the chicken to the rice. She is eating 4 to 6 very small meals per day and drinking normal amounts of water. Any thoughts on how to get her to eat rice or bread? I have tried soaking it in chicken broth and sprinkling garlic powder on it. Has anyone else experienced this side affect from the use of Rimadyl? We were using it to treat the luxating patella in her hind knees.
Thanks in advance for any comments suggestions.
