Will not eat My 10 yr old yorkie Murphy, will not eat. We have been dealing with this for about 6 weeks. He gets better then goes days without eating. Had him to the vet several times. He has been on all kinds of meds, had an U/S done on Fri and did a scope and biopsy on stomach and doadenum, on Mon. He is getting worse. Will not eat getting very skinny. They think it is IBD or cancer. He also has been vomiting and black tarry stool. Waiting for the results is too much, we are just watching him go down hill. Very sad! Took him in to vet today, they gave him fluids and injection to help stimulate him to eat. Still won't eat. Please pray for him, any advice is welcome. |
I am so sorry he is so ill. Have they done the GI panel (blood sample) that is sent out to Texas A&M? He could have a pancreatic insufficiency or other condition that is picked up by this test: Gastrointestinal Laboratory - Texas A&M Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences Click on Assays to read about it. In the meantime, if you have not already tried it, ask them if he could take Mirtazapine for his appetite. Sometimes it works wonders. Will keep Murphy in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted. |
