  1. poor Jake! one of my cats had a bad corneal abrasion, and it took awhile to heal, but ultimately, she was fine.
  2. I hope the radiologist comes up with another diagnosis
  3. I am so sorry to hear Beau is still not 100% since he likes chicken, and you don't cook (I can relate ), have you tried the cooked rotisserie chickens at the grocery store? You'd have to pull off the skin, bones, and any fat, of course, but all my guys, cats and dogs, go nuts for that. The smell has them climbing over each other to get at it. I don't know if he likes turkey, but the same goes for the roasted turkey breast you can buy. I swear it has doggie (and kitteh) crack in it and, unless you are veggies, if they don't like it, you can eat it!
  4. I am glad Monty is doing well so far. days 3-5 are easy!
  5. Tom, I am so sorry to hear about Ember
  6. I am glad to hear she is feeling better!
  7. Robin, I am so sorry Beau is still not eating. I hope you can finally get some answers
  8. Fletcher has (relatively) mild IBD. He was never scoped, my vet just said, let's treat it as IBD and see what happens. He started out with pred, Flagyl, and something else I've forgotten, to get get his bowels stable and to get rid of any parasites. He's a poop eater, and until I caught on to this, he ate feral cat poop as well as his own He also went on a limited ingredient food, venison and sweet potato, I think (this was all over three years ago). Through trial and error, I've discovered his food triggers (many), what he can eat in small amounts and what he can't eat at all. Now his IBD is controlled through diet, with Flagyl for an occasional flare up. Luckily, Flagyl works well for him. He is now raw fed, and that has been a life saver for him. I think, unfortunately, each dog with this is a little different, and you have to find what foods work and what doesn't. Grains and starch seem to be pretty common culprits, although they don't bother Fletcher. He can eat any protein I've tried him on, but absolutely no veggies, and only a few fruits. What should Beau eat? He seems to do fine on beef and chicken, yes? Maybe he needs to stay away from grains since he has been doing well on BG. My advice, FWIW, keep the ingredients limited and stay with them unless he gets worse or quits eating. It takes time, especially since he's been through so much. He's so sensitive, maybe just having Polli through with chemo will help, who knows?
  9. If she likes tomato sauce, sardines come in tomato sauce, and my dogs love them! (sounds to me ) another vote for starting the sub-qs, especially if you regular vet is also for it.
  10. for Harmony I hope it is TBD (that feels weird to say!)
  11. Good report! Hope he continues to improve!
  12. Metacam worked better for Sugar too, and my vet liked it brcause it is supposed to be easier on their liver if they are on it long term. Fresh Factors from Springtime, a great company! http://www.springtimeinc.com/
  13. I was also going to ask about the ultrasound. It will show things the x-rays don't. Another vote here for trying his original food. for you and Beau. eating issues have got to be some of the most frustrating! That's when you really wish you could just ask them.
