poor baby....you never know with all the meds he may be taking can be causing his tummy uneasiness... very scary vicki and as you know we are all sending healing energy,thoughts and prayers your way sweetie... so damn hard to watch our babies suffer.deep breaths...patty(milo)meka xoxox
Vicki, you are in Moo's and my prayers. As Patty says the meds can cause stomach problems. I haven't been on much as I am still looking for full-time work, and just went after another possibility. I plan on writing a bit more on my log on Lulu, just been swamped for time, and a Facebook project my hometown has got me doing for their 175th birthday. :)
Thinking of you both today

Vicki:
Hope Scoop is on the mend. How is he doing on the new meds? Hope they are helping him. You have to admit he is a real trooper, putting up with all this stuff. God Bless You Both. Did you email Sean? Just curious.
Patti
Thank you so much everyone. I hope everybody had a good day.
Patti, no I didn't email Sean. We have an appointment Friday to talk about radiation for Scoop. I want to see what they have to say then I'll see about a diet.
Scoop had a BG curve today. The numbers were not good. I think the vet is going to talk to the IMS. She thinks he might be insulin resistant.
Scoop still has the diarrhea. The vet said if he still has it tomorrow she wants a sample. She said something about antibiotics.
Big hugs
Oh my gosh, not another problem for Scoop. So the vet is going to talk to the IMS? What did the curve show?
It could be a stomach bacterial thing that is causing the diarrhea. Molly was diagnosed with that and they put her on antibiotics that lasted almost a month.
I probably wouldn't do the diet change either until you get things cleared up.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sharlene, that is what the vet said about, possible stomach bacteria.
It sounded like she is going to talk to the IMS.
I don't have the curve numbers. I will ask for copy when I ask for ACTH results copy. He had that done too. The first BG was decent, low 200's but just kept going up. I think high 400's was the last one. Scoop's diet is all screwed up because he won't eat like he should. I have to get him to eat.
poor Scoop. I hope these folks help you get him feeling better
Mornin' sweetie,
What foods have you tried with Scoop? There has got to be something that will appeal to him that won't be bad for him....I keep telling myself this over and over. So if you can share what all you have tried, maybe we can help you come up with some new ideas for him. Did you try the stinky stuff? Can he have that stinky stuff?
Has the vet mentioned whether or not the tumor could be shutting off his appetite or causing him to be nauseous? I can't help but wonder about that, too. :( Maybe an appetite stimulant or nausea med like Cerenia?
Hang in there!
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
Vicki:
My heart goes out to you. You and poor Scoop are certainly having a rough time. Would Scoop eat any of the following: canned chicken- it is smelly and may attract him to it, tuna, any type of canned beef, these canned meats are usually stronger in smell, cooked or canned salmon, egg whites cooked? How about if you made him some home made gravy since it doesn't have all the fat and additives of canned? I know my Vet has something in a can ID or something that can be sucked up in a syringe and fed to them. It is to give then high calorie food since they won't eat. Have you tried giving some food in a syringe? Sometimes they feel so bad they won't eat until some is put in their mouth and it stimulates them to eat. Tipper and I are praying daily for Scoop. This has been a never ending roller coaster for you two. I hope it gets turned around soon, as Scoop has had enough lately, and is probably worn out from all this. Sometimes you wonder what your poor baby is thinking with all this happening. God Bless You Both.
