Olivia - Cholangiohepatitis & Protein-Losing Nephropathy - Page 11 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well....I don't know...I think she has played me on this one. When I gave her her food at 3PM she turned her nose up....I took the bowl and put some RC LF in it and she gobbled it ALL up.
I spoke with the specialist...could be the meds are working and could be she is just picky. Nothing lost as she needed a follow up on her labs and ultrasound anyway...but good grief. What a mess. The specialist thinks that she may have a food aversion because of her illness...so that on days that she feels a bit punky she thinks the food did it. So she does not want to eat it again.. Actually makes sense as while she has never been real food motivated, she never did this!
I am just thankful that she is ok.

So glad she is doing better.

YazminD · 03-14-2013, 12:27 AM

Sending continued prayers that Olivia will feel better today.

Your pups are turning you in knots!!

Little stinkers!

Hopefully her appetite will pick up and she will be back to her sweet self. Glad to hear that the ultrasounds were good.

hahha...I know...I think it's a conspiracy....

Maybe they heard someone say not to focus on my diagnosis and stay positive. Well, they are taking my mind off of it....but is this positive?

I am very happy to hear Olivia is okay and that she ate the RC LF.

I only put a small amount in her regular food. I have to be careful with her because of her protein losing nephropathy. The LF is a bit higher in protein than they want, but they said a small amount won't hurt. I tried that this morning and she decided not to eat again.

She is making me crazy!!

Maximo · 03-14-2013, 06:16 AM

Oh no! Olivia, don't make your mommy crazy. Eat up!

Keeping her in my prayers.

dottiesyrky · 03-14-2013, 06:20 AM

I feel your concern and frustration with the eating issue. Many times I have torn my hair out when my boy will not eat. I, as others, have found that a very small sprinkle of Parmesan cheese will sometimes do the trick for a capricious appetite. I have found that Cerenia is an excellent anorexia drug and works better than Reglan. Have you ever used that?
So sorry that you are going through this with Olivia and hope she feels more hungry soon. Try and take care of yourself as well, you need TLC too.
Prayers for you and your babies.

YazminD · 03-16-2013, 12:43 AM

Checking in to see how Olivia's been feeling these past few days, praying that's she's eating and feeling better.

ladyjane · 03-16-2013, 05:43 AM

She is still acting weird about food. I spoke with the specialist yesterday...she may have a or some gall stones...we are awaiting the final report on that.

They really are not concerned because her gall bladder looks much better than it did previously and her labs are good.

I am just going to have to keep switching her food I guess. I have to be sure it is on her approved list of foods...and just go with whatever it is she is going through.

bobohyde · 03-16-2013, 05:53 AM

Glad to hear the vets are not concerned and that her blood work is good.

Maybe she is wanting you to home cook momma!
