Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh gosh, I'm SO sorry you still aren't further along with answers...that kind of worry and stress can be just overwhelming . I really feel for you. Has clostridium been discussed...ie c.diff and c.perfringens..? Especially if you give bully sticks!

CANINE DIARRHEA PANEL COMP (2625)We stopped giving bully sticks due to the choking hazards when it got really small. The boys would try to swallow it! Do you think we should proceed with the Endoscopy? I hate when they have to go under. | |

Gosh, at this point, I think I probably would do and Endo and a biopsy. Also though -- have you traveled anywhere with the dogs and/or have they been kenneled anywhere...?

| Just wanted to provide an update on Pax. He has not had a bowel movement in over 24 hours and ate the last 4 meals on his own, bland food. I suspect he may have a normal bowel movement tomorrow. This is similar to what happened last week, he was fine for a little, and then it came back. |

| Good Afternoon, wanted to provide an update. Pax has been eating all his meals on his own, and has had 3 normal bowel movements in the last 48 hours. Pilot is also doing well so far, he's been eating chicken, plain skinless mash potatoes with a carrot and pea puree. His stool has been normal so far as well. Pax will still undergo the endoscopy and biopsy procedure tomorrow. We think it's best to what's going on with him even though it's extremely expensive. I hope he does well. |

Separately, sounds like the pups had a good 24 to 48-hours. Hope you were all able to get some rest. Thank you for taking the time to update; I know you have a lot on your mind. | |

The biopsy will be performed via endoscopy so they will not be cutting him open or anything, and recovery *should* be quick from what I'm told. I'm always very nervous when they go under anesthesia. The endoscopy will be performed by our board certified internal medicine vet. I think that's as specialized as it gets when it comes to animal care.

I'm with you on the anesthesia. Sounds like you have the very best care coming his way. Gonna keep our prayers up and paws crossed over here. It's such good news to know that he's able to eat and process his food. From your comments, Pilot sounds like he may have rounded the corner. Hope you all have a good night. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I'm sooooo happy there is some improvement!!! Ya know, based upon another thread that's going on here -- I have to mention Helicobacter infection with all the GI symptoms you've seen. https://www.merckvetmanual.com/diges...-small-animals

| Pax is back home from the procedure and resting. The internal medicine vet said everything went very well. She excitedly reported that she did not see any signs of tumors or cancer. Her report stated the stomach and esophagus appears normal. Mild changes of the small intestines mucusoa (slightly reduced size of the villae/villus blunting). We will now await the results of the biopsy. Thank you all for the support so far! Very much appreciate it. |

The biopsy results will come back in 3 to 5 days. He is still taking metronidazole for a little while longer. The dosage was reduced from 50mg to 25mg. | |
