This is excellent advice! I keep a spreadsheet of all major medical events in my furbabies lives, as well as type of food, and it has helped the vet more than once.
Has your vet tried to prescribe anything to coat her stomach (I don't want to mention specifics because I'm not a vet)? My Bayleigh had a "possible obsruction", 2 days of IV fluids + x-rays, still vomitting. Then they gave me 3 meds, one for acid, one for coating the stomach lining and one for motility, and after a couple of days on those, she was magically better.
Best of luck to you, I know how distressing it can be!

Write down your little ones symptoms. I like journals do I write few examples of the problems. I will give you an example. Tuttie at 1/3 of her a cup of _______ food at 9 am. She vomited a quarter sized amount of clear vomit at 930 am. She drank water 5 times today She played about 30 min and slept the rest of the time. She pee pee'd 3 times today. She pooped 1 x at 12 noon it was brown and soft with some watery consistancy
This way your vet has a much clearer picture. I use potty pads when my little ones are sick for 2 reason. One I can see how much they pee pee'd and if it dark colored or has an Oder to it
I also video any things that seems odd to show my wet. Mollie had a really as cough and of course when she was at the vet she never did that. I was back at the vet a few days later for the same thing this time I hassle taped it so the. Wt was able to see what I was. On what I was concerned with. I also take picks of strange poops or vomit just to paint a better picture
Write down you question to discuss with the vet. This is your child so you are nervous when you go theses tools will help you I would also recommending getting another vets oppenion. You can use the Internet to research the vets. You may find home of them have extensive traing in different areas
I hope this helps get you a diagnosis. I hope your little one gets well soon! |
