RobinM Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Tomorrow is the day. He will have that bx to determine what heck is going on. Although he is otherwise happy and loving and silly and Beau, I feel I am doing an injustice to him not treating him and how do I treat him without a bx for a diagnosis? His eating at best is ehh. He's been tested for everything so it's time. God forbid it's cancer, it's going unrtreated... I got an email today from someone I met at a M&G who has a greyhound. She emailed today to tell me her beloved "Lena" was dx with lyphmona of the intestines on Dec. 5 and was PTS on Jan. 15. When I read that I realized I had to make a decsion. So, please keep Beau in your prayers. I know he will be in really good hands but it's very scary all the same. But once treated we will be able to move on from the H&M section of GT and pay more attention to the fun stuff!

If it's IBD (which I am certain it has to be. IT HAS TO BE!) I believe they will see visually the imflammation but of course will go by the bx. I will ask when I drop him off.

Guest Annie Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Robin, River had chronic colitis from a long term and severe hookworm infestation 5 years ago when I adopted him. I was sure I was going to lose him, as none of the meds could get the bloody diahrrea under control. We were at the vet's often for sub Q fluids etc. In desperation, and against veterinary advice (because of his compromised immune system), I switched him to BARF 4 1/2 years ago. From one day to the next, the diahrrea stopped and within 6 months he was weaned off all his meds. Today, River is the picture of health. His eating habits are still inconsistant... he remains a very fussy customer but the scare is over. Thank God. I will be praying for your handsome Beau! Quote
