Update! Pax and Pilot had a good weekend.
Their appetite and bowel movements were all normal. They're eating chicken breast, boiled red mash potatoes with pureed carrots and peas, along with calcium and vitamin supplements. I plan on adding green beans into the mix this week.
Pax is still taking 25mg of the metronidazole (down from 50mg) a little while longer and the biopsy results should come back later this week
Pax has been a chronic paw licker. He likes to lick his especially when he's bored. However, one of his paws seemed quite red and irritated in the middle.
We've taken him to the vet in the past and they wanted to start him on anti depressants, which I declined.
I started applying diluted apple cider vinegar and gave him a Himalayan pink sea salt paw soak yesterday in hopes it will calm down the inflammation.
It could be a combination of some allergy and his chronic licking.
Unfortunately between their dentals in February, Pilot's pancreatitis in March, and this whole episode in April and May, I would like to avoid going to the vet for a little while! |
