Wow this is all so overwhelming and I really have to learn what all these medical words mean. It's been tearing me up inside to see my little boy so sick with diarrhea. He didn't eat anything that would have brought this on, everyone knows that he ABSOLUTELY cannot have anything beside his food and a cracker. Today he felt so much better. He woke up at 3:00am crying b/c he was hungry...LOL! Finally at 6:00am I got up and fed him. I can't let him get off his schedule. The IV fluid really helped him!!! I really appreciate all the support and concern everyone has. I'm not too sure exactly what tests were done to confirm this but after I talk to Susan Davis on Wed. I'm going to call my vet and discuss with him what she said. I will ask him exactly what tests were done. I really do appreciate all the support, this is very scary (sp) for me!

Chandra don't feel bad I am clueless about all these tests and what they mean as well. I am learning as I go with this and with the help of super members on YT who have gone through the same thing we learn from each other.

I know - you just feel bad for your baby. I'm happy to hear that you are setting up time with Susan you will learn a lot from her.

I don't know what all of these tests and numbers mean but I just wanted to say Get Well Bailey. We'll be sending some good thoughts and prayers.

Thanks again for all your support and prayers! I'm talking with Susan Davis today and was wondering if any of you had ideas or suggestions of what I could ask her? I have a general list going as far as food and treats, but I want to make sure I ask the right questions now that he has this new issue.

She will be very thorough with suggesting a specific diet. Asking about treats is great. Make sure you understand all the directions given, how much you are going to feed, exactly what supplements and the dose and how many times a day, what symptoms to watch for, any other bloodwork you should have done.

Good luck!!!!

i agree with Jodie- she is very thorough- also when she sends the supplements- she will write down on the paper how much to give- just in case you forget.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to update you on my talk with Susan. She told me to start off feeding Natural Balance Fish and Potato, green beans, Natures Variety of freeze dried medallion and canned pumpkin. I'm also putting him on a couple different supplements. Tonight I started off with the veggies and pumpkin b/c I want to wait for the supplements to help him digest the food. He's going to be on this diet for a couple weeks and then we have to re-check his blood and then re-evaluate his food routine and make adjustments where necessary. I really liked her. So that's where we're at for now. Bailey thought he had died and gone to heaven tonight with his veggies and canned pumpkin...LOL...

Good to hear!!!!! I'm guessing the supplements you'll be starting on are the Probiotic, lLpozyme and possibly Bioliv???

Yeah and one that is for anxiety. I can't remember the name right now (it's in my purse in the other room) LOL. I should get them Saturday. Do you know what the Bioliv is for? My notes aren't so good for that one.

Also, if anyone can tell me... I know Bailey can have cooked veggies, but can he have fruit??? I'm so new to this so any information would be great!!! Thanks so much! I would hate to keep Bananas from him!

Fruit is great! Layla hates fruit but for a nightly snack she gets fat free yogurt with baby food fruit- LOVES It!

and i'm pretty sure the bioliv is for the liver.
