greytpups Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Continue to get better...ok Soul Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greygirls2 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Sending tons of white light, prayers and positive thoughts to Soul for his continues progress. I hope his recovery is fast and uneventful....there's nothing worse that watching our babies so sick with no real answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SoulsMom Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Sorry, I haven't on much today. I'm a little loopy from lack of sleep. . . . well, he seems to be back to his old self---giving me he77 today about wanting to go somewhere. After the last few sleepy, lethargic days he's back to being my goofy Soul. I've been taking his temp, and it's never gone above 100, so no infection has set in . . . .still not sure what that was all about, but he was in obvious, severe distress. Now that he's farted, is back on the flagyl, and had a few days of rest he seems to be all better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Great! Guess that proves, everyone need a good Fart now and then! :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Glad he is feeling better! Maybe he needs to be on the Flagyl full time. That was one possibility my vet discussed with me when Fletcher was first diagnosed with IBD. Thankfully, it hasn't been necessary for us, but maybe it is for Soul?

Guest SoulsMom Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing . . . .that he needs to be on Flagyl long term, as this 'episode' occured when there was no change in his diet, and it seemed very sudden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah for farting! Glad he's feeling better. Amber, have you ever tried feeding raw? It's really hard to imagine trying it now since he's had so much trouble with the food switches, I'm not sure I'd even recommend it, but so many dogs with stomach issues have improved dramatically through raw feeding alone.

KF_in_Georgia Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing . . . .that he needs to be on Flagyl long term, as this 'episode' occured when there was no change in his diet, and it seemed very sudden My vet says there can be problems with long-term metronidazole use. It's not a common problem, but something that does crop up occasionally. (Google Flagyl. I think my vet was worried about peripheral neuropathy.) When the vet and I were discussing a "maintenance dose" of drugs for Sam, we were looking at Tylan: no known problems with long-term use, although it can be hard to get some dogs to take it since it tastes so nasty. Fortunately for me, Sam's a food gulper. If I put the Tylan powder in the middle of a slice of cheese, then balled up the cheese, he gulped it down just fine. (It turns out, though, that we don't need the maintenance dose. He's gotten better with a change in food.) If Sam had needed to stay on the Tylan long-term, I think I'd have started making capsules for him. Good luck.
