Just wanted to give an update as Pax did not have a good day. He did not eat anything at all and had more watery diarrhea.
We took him to the vet around 6PM and they gave him SubQ fluids under the skin as bloodwork revealed he was moderately dehydrated. She took x-rays and it revealed thickening of the small intestines due irritation, but the cause is unknown (still thinking parasites so far).
The vet gave more medications including DiaGel, Tylan Powder, another Drontal Plus pill, and Cerenia. We are basically treating symptoms until we can get the results of the realpcr diarrhea panel. If the results are negative, we'll have to explore other avenues such as IBS, possible biopsy, etc.
Pax finally wanted to eat something tonight after we returned so we gave him some of the medications, the dewormer, metronidazole, DiaGel, and Endosorb.
I'm really hoping we find the root cause of this soon, for both our sake! |
