They sent us home with a bunch of medications to help control his symptoms. I just gave him liquid Panacur, he will get Sucralfate in 2 hours and then Metronidazole in 2 more hours. I am going to go do some research on what each of these medications is for and hopefully he will start to feel better soon. I am really crossing my fingers that it's not cancer. I guess we will know for sure tomorrow. He is starting on a gastro wet food tonight and we will keep him on that as long as we need to.
Glad he is better.

What was the outcome with the specialist looking at the xrays? Kind of scary that the vet thought IBD or cancer.....is there any diagnosis at all?
