I'm so sorry that Gizmo is sick. I would stick with the food your vet gave you until you have a diagnosis. I'll be thinking of you and your little man!

RileyDC · 10-02-2011, 02:22 PM

Ohhh No! Hoping he isn't down, for long.... and keeping him in my prayers that the results come back good.

Princess10 · 10-02-2011, 03:05 PM

Sorry to hear Gizmo's not feeling well. Hopefully the tests will come back ok & he'll recover from this bout soon.

Princess has been on Science I/D for a few months now following her pancreatitis. I'd get more from your vet to keep him on the exact same the vet put him on until you're told further.

I'll be praying for Gizmo, Princess is proof that YT prayers can do wonderful things.

So, that's good.

We were also sent home with some anti-nausea meds to give him. He seems just like his normal self. Little worn out, brought out his favorite monkey blanket and he seems snug as a bug in a rug.

Question for all you YTers out there. I'm going to be feeding him the canned food that the vet gave me, however they only gave me a little bit. Any suggestions for low and fat kibble I could get until I get a full diagnosis?

I know us YT'ers are a strong community, so I'm asking you all for prayers with regards to Gizmo. I know the power of prayer, like healing with humans is strong.

Thanks everyone, I hope to have better news.

What Science diet was it? Rosie takes I/D because of her IBS. I get the can and the dry both. I have tried other foods and end up back on the prescription Science Diet every time. It just seems to work for her. I actually mix both of them together when I feed her. She really does seem to like it. Thank goodness! Maybe you could just use the dry from the vet as well. Glad he seems to be feeling better!

Taryn0405 · 10-02-2011, 05:02 PM

That's what I was thinking, just getting some dry from the vet. I believe it's A/d? I'm being lazy and have a really comfy, warm dog who's sound asleep on me so I don't want to get up and disturb him- and I'm being lazy!

Gizmo says "Hi" to everyone and he thanks you all for his prayers.

BabyGirl Rosie · 10-02-2011, 05:36 PM

Awwwww, sweet little Gizmo. You are such a cutie pie.

They should have the dry as well. It just makes it easier on me. Lol. And since she does so well on it....well you know. Science diet is kinda expensive though. Go to their website and sign up. You can get $7 off a bag of the dry dog food.

ladyjane · 10-02-2011, 05:59 PM

I hope Gizmo is better soon! I would definitely get more food from the vet. Sometimes they give A/D to sick pups....or I/D
Hope the bile acids are ok.
Will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

yorkieusa · 10-02-2011, 06:04 PM

They seem to like the I/D. The A/D is not one I'm familiar with. I wouldn't be afraid of feeding Science Diet when you have a pup that has problems. It's a good food for certain problems.

Ellie May · 10-02-2011, 06:07 PM

A/D is a recovery diet. Not used for pancreatitis dogs. Very high fat.
I/D would make sense.
L/D is high fat and may be contraindicated in pancreatitis dogs.

It sounds like he's stable and doing fine. Yes, definitely go on Friday next time to beat the weekend emergency room run!

Taryn0405 · 10-02-2011, 06:11 PM

We actually went to a non-emergency hospital. I was just charge $40 additional for not being a patient. I also was shocked at the price, meaning I thought it was going to be alot more.

Now I'm a little worried about the A/d.

I would ask my regular vet about it. Did the regular vet give you the a/d or the clinic?

Taryn0405 · 10-02-2011, 06:16 PM

The clinic. I'm going to be following up with my vet tomorrow.

I think that is a great idea!

Hoping that Gizmo will be better soon. Get more of the food the vet gave you. I know you will keep us informed.
