Tibbe had his second meal of Hill's I/D this morning about 8:40 a.m., about 2 1/2 tablespoons & so far, tummy soft, no gurgling, no clinginess or isolation attempts, no bad smelling gas, he's playful, ears/tail up & he's baiting me for play, carrying his chew bone around and putting it down, growling at me, picking it back up & running away. He had his first meal of Hill's I/D last night & he did the same after it.
He did burp about 9:30 a.m., seemed to swallow, lick so we are going to the vet today about Pepcid & to pick up some Royal Canin Gastrointestinal, which I get the impression might be a better food than the Hill's and it is what his vet prescribed Monday - should he continue to have problems. I already had some Hill's from his February pneumonia bout, so after his problems after his regular food yesterday morning, I rolled out the Hill's can for his evening meal. Boy, so far, it has really made a difference in how he does after meals. Now if we can get reflux treatment, maybe he'll get back to being Tibbe - the little fireball.
Since he took his last dose of Prednisolone last Friday night, hopefully its side effects on his tummy will be gone soon. I'm feeling so encouraged again.
