If your older yorkie has same issues, what your vet recommended? My Jessica will be 14 in February.
Recently, occasionally she has some bad symptoms.
Yellow foam vomiting, diarrhea, once was a bloody one.
Also, she has too much gases....Smelly-))))
Urine test was perfect, blood work was OK too.
Today we did ultrasound.
I went to a holistic vet, so for now she recommends only certain diet - warm, no raw due old age, small portions and a few times per days.
According to her holistic vet, she is not just in good, she is in perfect shape for her age.
But when I was reading the result, I am not a vet, but to me not as perfect.
Below is result.
Conclusions
1. Mild/moderate generalized gastrointestinal mural thickening could represent inflammatory/infectious gastroenteritis or inflammatory bowel disease.
2. Suspect mild chronic pancreatitis or potentially pancreatic hyperplasia.
3. Mild bilateral chronic nephropathy with right renal cortical cyst.
Comments/Recommendations
Complete GI panel as well as tissue sampling of the gastrointestinal tract be considered as clinically warranted to more definitively characterize the gastrointestinal changes.
Also, I was thinking my Jessica is having cataracts, but the vet said Jessica has nuclear sclerosis in the eyes and should be given grapeseed extract , 10 to 15mg per day. You can also use Macular Support 1 capsule twice weekly.
Please share your experience about treatment/diet/etc. if you have similar heath issues with you loved one.
Thank you
