Hi all, hope everyone’s well? Thanks for letting me join 😊.
My boy Louis was diagnosed just over four weeks ago. He’s a Staffy Collie X, aged 10 and has been prescribed 30mg Vetoryl as a starter dose, probably to be increased to 50mg following a repeat blood test which I’m taking him for tomorrow. His main symptom is fatigue although I’ve noticed he’s drinking and weeing less too. He’s eating less but I’m not sure if he’s not eating enough now.
My main question at the moment is how to best give him his pill in a morning. He’s a grazer so he has dry food down all day and just picks at it but this means he doesn’t have a proper breakfast as such. What can I give him with his tablet that counts as breakfast and how much food should I give? I’m thinking maybe chicken or fish and rice then reduce the amount of dry food for the rest of the day. I’m getting the feeling he’s feeling a bit of colour in a morning and I’m wondering if this is because he’s not having the correct type or enough food with his Vetoryl and it’s making him a bit queasy. Any general advice would be great too! 😊 x
