:eek: EEeek!! Not happy to return and read this Tina :mad: Jeepers I hope everything has settled back down again and he is fighting fit again!! What did your vet say? Hopefully we will hear from you soon although I think you said 1st week of month is awful busy for you, so your probably knackered!! Paw's up Jasper!! xxx
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for checking on Jasper. He had been doing ok, no further diarrhea or vomiting and then last night (Sunday) at 6:30 he just suddenly vomited out of the blue. He had not eaten dinner yet, so this was left from his late morning breakfast. He just vomited once thank goodness. He seemed hungry later so I gave him just 1/2 cup of hamburger/rice (half his usual portion) about 45 min later. He ate it and it has stayed down. He got his metronidazole after that, I held the Enalapril.
I had tried mixing in 1/4 cup of his food for breakfast to start transitioning him back to his food, but I don't think that made him sick or I think he would have thrown up sooner. So I don't know what triggered it. I've gone back to just the bland diet for a couple more meals, and also holding the fish oil. We've been up for his pit stop and he was hovering in the kitchen so I gave him another 1/2 cup of hamburger/rice at 0230. So far so good, he is resting on the couch.
I was not able to talk to my vet on Friday like I had hoped. When I called, I found out she was already on vacation. :( So since he was doing better I figured I would continue the bland diet and metronidazole. I guess that is what I will do now since he vomited just once again. It is just so worrisome and hard to know if pancreatitis is starting up again, or if his Addison's is getting unstable.
I am a little worried that he hasn't pooped since thursday morning (2/27), but he had horrible diarrhea so I imagine he was pretty cleaned out. And now has been eating less, and the bland diet. Plus it is so bloody cold here, below zero temps and wind chill, so he rushes right back in the house. I think this has happened to him before, it takes a while to get things moving again. Hopefully he will poo before I go to work in a few hours.
Kind of had some difficulty over the weekend with my Nana also, so I wasn't on the forum much. I need to clone myself it seems.
Well, back to bed for a little bit. I have a busy day at work ahead of me. :mad: Yes Trish, I am knackered, and the weekend didn't help much with that! Glad you're back safe, I just posted on your thread. Thanks again everyone for checking on us, and please keep the positive thoughts coming. :)
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo
Gosh, Tina, I am sorry Jasper had a bit of an issue and so did your Nana.
Can you try just a teaspoon of pumpkin if he does not poo today? Maybe he needs to stay on the bland diet a bit longer. They give metronidazole for pancreatitis so if that is flaring up a bit, the metronidazole may help with that. Also, the metronidazole can make them sometimes feel sick to their tummy, I always gave it to Zoe with food after a meal.
How long is your vet on vacation?
hugs and love Tina, I know your are worried.
Tina,
It's not unusual to not poop for a few days after having diarrhea. The same thing happens to Daisy.
Happy that he's better now.
How is Nana?
Hope everything is ok when you get home from work.
Oh gosh, that is terrible that Jasper had another episode of throwing up. Hopefully this plan will work out for him for the next little while.
Let us know when you get a chance.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Oh yikes, I missed your report last night. Sorry about that Tina. I have everything crossed all has been well with Jasper today. Hope he does a good poop too, that really helps. Darn your vet being away, just when you needed to talk to her too, I hate having to see another vet when our own is away. Hope work was not too manic so you got home to your boy at a decent time, be looking out for his latest report. xxx
