Tiki does occasionally but rarely throw up a little, so does Kayla (who doesn't have MVD), however I can't always rule out that the cause may be because a guest has shared some people food with them. |
Hm, you know if the Purina HA trial doesn't work, I'm giving your food a trial next. Even though Tibbe doesn't scratch anymore, he still seems to break out. I'm using Hexaclor or something that sounds like that for his bath and that's helped the bumps and together with the Clavamox and perhaps the season and the cold air and autumn being over, he's not as bumpy but his eyes still drain on some days. This past two days he's had no eye drainage. It is a puzzle but I'm sure hoping a change in his food will help and I won't have to home cook. Right now, I'm not even cooking for myself, though I will for Tibbe if that's what it takes to stop his bumps and eye drainage.

We keep treats to minimum, fruitables and break them into tiny pieces. Hope you and your little fur baby find some relief soon. |
Thank you for your concern and your prayers. I'm sorry your little one has MVD, too! Tibbe was diagnosed this early summer, too, but thankfully isn't having to take medication - knock wood - so far. He had been sleeping and nauseated, not eating and spitting up bile quite a lot before his testing, diagnosis and diet change after his diagnosis but since adding the hepatic food - which started his scratching - his sleeping is back to normal amounts and his level of activity is back to normal. He's feisty, bouncy, [I terrier ]mean[/I] and playful again - which is so great. It's so good once they make a turn for the better, isn't it? Wonder what the groaning is about - just a habit or do you think he's in pain or something? Poor little guy. I sure wish him - and you - the best with his MVD and hope his future is better still.
