Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Fingers crossed Molly has turned the corner! A couple of normal ones will all have us giving a big sigh of relief!! Jeepers I bet you are less than keen about Molly having a sleepover at the vets again this weekend, but so pleased to hear her favourites will be on to take care of her and keep her happy. xx

Hoping Molly does turn the corner. I just pray she does not get her system upset from staying at the vets this weekend. Blessings

Hi all, well I thought this morning, when we had soft but at least a bit formed and no blood that things would get better. This evening though we're back to the diarrhea. I'm continuing with chicken/rice and probiotic.
We had a change of computer equipment today and so I haven't been able to get online till now.
We'll just keep trudging alone. Molly feels like she is losing weight, but that could be my imagination. Her belly looks smaller and she feels lighter.
I have to say though, she continues to act like she feels okay, she is constantly hungry on this diet plan.
The vet wanted me to call tomorrow or Friday to let her know how molly is doing. I'll probably call tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in with me gang. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene:
Would Molly eat some boiled potato? When my one bird had cancer the vet would tell me to give her that for the runs. The starch binds them up. It would not hurt her as it is bland, but could possibly help. Hope it all gets turned around as I know she will go to the vets this weekend to stay right? Hope your party is a hit. Blessings

Back to the full diarrhea this morning. I called the vet and will be going to pick up Metronidazole this afternoon. I said the probiotic alone just isn't working and I think she needs something more.
Poor thing, she doesn't act like she feels bad, she isn't tender anywhere like if she had pancreatic issues, no pain at all.
However, she is not drinking enough water right now and that is a huge worry with the crystal issues. She looks like she has lost weight, in that her tummy isn't nearly as pot belly looking currently and she feels lighter when I pick her up. That might all be my imagination what with the concern over how long this is lasting. I'd b feeling much worse than she seems to if it were me.
She is always up for more rice and chicken, just loves it all, even the plain rice, she will lick the bowl. I'd think the rice, being starchy would help with the poop consistencies, but it really hasn't.
So, cross your fingers this works.
Yea Trish, I'm not thrilled about her going back there this weekend, but it's only one night and I talked with the vet about it and we felt she'd be more stressed with a house full of strangers.
Okay got to run, work, work, work

Oh Sharlene, I sure hope Miss Pretty Molly feels better real soon.
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Didn't want to read that. What a shame ! Sure hope the meds help cause what else can you give her?
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
awe.. Ms. Molly's tummy is giving her fits. :( Hope the meds help & she is back on her sassy way soon.
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Wow, had no idea that this Metronidazole had liquid gold in it. 5 pills was 98.97 :eek: :eek: I know we pay a lot for pet meds here in Canada, but is that reasonable compared to the US?
I just paid over $30.00 for 7 packets of florifora 2 days ago, because mine had expired date on it, so needed some new.
I'll pay it obviously but it does seem rather excessive, or am I just fooling myself. It's okay, don't be afraid to say, gf you are out to lunch. :D :confused:
