Just got back from seeing the specialist. I guess the symptoms we are seeing could be side effects caused by the Metronidazole. She has been getting up in the night and acting off too..So... He thinks it might be related.
As far as Lactulose I can play around with the dosage.. She can have 1ml 3 times a day.. however this high of amount makes beautiful diaherra. But when she gets a little crazy/off like she has been I start to increase the amount.
He put her on Enroflaxin for 10 days. At this point I am stopping Metro.. Then in 10 days we will put her back on Metro. He said she may be a dog that needs Antibiotics for 3 weeks and 1 week off.
If her symtoms go past 48 hours we are going back in. Hoping its just issues with meds and it will resolve itself. He didn't even charge us for an examination fee. So very nice
On a side note..I was STARVING after we left the office.. Today has been crazy and I have had barely any time to think so I decided to go through the drive- thru before heading home because I needed something ASAP.
I came home and sat down to the table to eat and Taycie decides to Bark and whine at me.. I look at her and say, " Are you really hungry?? She of course barks in response. I am thinking ??HUH????...So I get out her food, and dish it up and the little princess eats the ENTIRE portion. I am thinking... REALLY???? Little stinker!!!
You act snotty about your food all week.. We go to the vet and then you come home and proudly eat your food!!! Maybe she knows I will make her go back!!!! HA! I am also wondering if the Increase of Lactulose has helped... I struggle with this drug.. It truly is a double edge sword! Because while it will help with her encephalopathy ...it cleans her out, (since it is also prescribed for constipation).
Anyways..Thanks to everyone for thinking of us! I am hoping things just go back to normal!
