 Update on Henry
Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. First of all, thanks for all the info. I pasted it to a WORD doc, printed and posted it for future reference.
Henry continued to vomit and I rushed him to the hospital. While the vet felt that he didn't eat enough to poisen him, he did feel that at the very least it upset his stomach. He was also quite dehydrated. After meds and SQ fluids, I was sent home with instructions for a bland diet and to F/U with my vet Monday.
Labs were drawn this week because of Henry's history of finicky eating, refusal to drink fluids and no weight gain in the past 2 months (previously chalked-up to the 1st 2 issues). Both the ER vet and my regular vet hinted that Henry may have what is called "Liver Shunts". His lab work came back and shows that he does have problems with his liver. Next he'll have what is called a bile-acids test and then an ultrasound to determine if and where the shunts are located.
I am going to start a new thread about this and hope that someone has information or experience with this problem. I thank you in advance. alley |
