I am so relieved to post that I have had the "old Tibbe" today so far! Just when I think something totally dreadful is going on, he has a good day or part of one. And so far he's had a small breakfast & lunch of Hill's I/D & seems to be doing quite well. He's playful & frisky, growling & barking as any good "security guard" does & it's hard to believe he's the same dog. It's been such a rollercoaster but I am so glad it has stopped on the top for a while now & I sure hope for his - and my - sake it stays there. I love him so much, watching him feeling bad & acting so sad & uncomfortable has been terrible. One of his vets did mention Reglan as a possibility so we'll consider it.
What you described about the Reglan sounds like the experience I had last fall when good old Nexium finally fixed me up. I just couldn't eat - lost weight until the doctor really took me to the woodshed about getting so thin. But then they started me on the purple pill & everything changed in about a week, though I've never been a big eater. I can eat lots more now. Today I even had 1 1/2 beef tacos from a fast food place! That just wasn't possible before.
We'll see if Pepcid AC & Hill's won't work for a while & see what happens. I really like having the "old Tibbe" back & want to keep him!
