It would make sense if he is skipping meals from nausea. (I have nauses problems myself from a bad neck that can affect my inner ear balance, so I have anti-nausea medicine that helps me alot.)
Hate to think of Taffy feeling sick to his stomach causing him not to eat, poor baby!
Thank you for this valuable information.
I WILL CERTAINLY FOLLOW UP WITH THESE CHECK-UPS!!.-- Sue & Taffy |
My vets just weren't really thinking "liver" yet, despite Tibbe being a Yorkie, thinking he was just foraging in the backyard & that was causing his tummy problems but when I said I wanted Bile Acids tested thanks to Ellie May's suggestion on YT, we were on the right track from that point on and he's doing way better now.
