Finally got a call back from the vet today about 4 with Taycie's test results. The test we had done was a TLI/PLI/fol Cob-inc. My new vet especially wanted to make sure her Pancreas was function properly. She was also concerned about her Folate and Cobalamin levels which could be also causing her GI discomfort and flare-ups.
As far as her Pancreas was concerned she said it is functioning beautifully! I was soooooo very happy to hear this. As for her Folate levels were concerned they were high. Basically the way she explained this to me was she has has an overload of Bacteria in her system. Which would be why about every 6 weeks we end up with diaherra. She said her system may be getting bombarded by all the bacteria and then this of course leads to horrible GI upset.
So, plan of action, is... we are putting her on a very low dose of Tylan powder for 2 months and going back and retesting to see where her levels are.
She said it could be possible that once this is under control we will be able to wean her off the Tylan powder completely, however she said she has seen many dogs that use this for the rest of there life to keep the bacteria at healthy levels.
So.. I am sure I missed something hopefully I explained this correctly. This is the way I understood it. Hopefully this will give my girl some relief. I feel like we are moving in a very positive direction.
Side note... Her dosage of Tylan powder is very little. She will be taking 1/16th of a tsp then split into to 3rds.. Any ideas on how to split such a small amount into thirds???? This is going to be the hard part
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We sure love all of you
