 Update on wiley
Wiley's xray turned out JUST FINE!!! Made me happy to know that his trachea tube is perfect, lungs and heart are clear and fine, no pneumonia... The Doctor thinks it is allergies to something now. When I got him, his hair was shedding. He was sent with Puppy Chow and she said he was eating Eukanuba and Little Champions wet food. She said she bathed him in Adams shampoo.
I slowly switched him to Royal Canin for Yorkies with Eukanuba, but that didn't seem to help his cough or hair loss so I slowly switched him to ACANA but still no change. I bathe him in Yorkie Splash that I get online. I was using this oatmeal shampoo for puppies until I got the Yorkie Splash. Maybe he is allergic to that, but he had all the symptoms when I got him so it just doesn't make sence. I wash his blankets in ALL or Borax and hot water. I do not give him treats at this point. He gets Nylabones to chew on that are not edible and he has his toys. He drinks Purified room temp. water. He does not get table craps, but I have given him boiled chicken & egg yolk from boiled egg when he finally started to eat on his own to get him to eat more. A few days ago I gave him bits of apple without the peel. (it was cute to listen to him crunch on those) I can not think of anything else besides his meds he was on for his two infections that he no longer has. He was taking Albon & Amoxicillon for that. He does get drops in his ears for yeast problem called Triotic/Otibiotic and Metoclopramide for regurgitation but only if he is really coughing and choking because then he throws up stomach crap from GI. He was given Hydroxzine 50mg (give0.2ml twice daily) liquid form for allergies yesterday. Yesterday was 1 MONTH ago that I got him. I have had this little guy for 1 whole month and he weighed in at 2# at the vet yesterday too. They were just excited about his weight as I was. They all think it is sad that he is having such trouble and losing his hair, but they are happy that he has a good mommy that is taking good care of him. |
