RobinM Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Back from vet- down 1 pound in the past week. Upped the pred just a little and did labs. Depending on the results othat, we will either stay where we are or raise the pred again.

RobinM Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Ehh. We upped to 10mg a day and 25mg of imuran. Blood was perfect so she does not want to up to 50mg again unless we really have to. the big problem is we all know how fast these guys lose weight. LAst year he went from ok to near death wtihin a week. So, the not eating is an issue. He had some fish today, but again, not enough.

RobinM Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Now Teddy, too? What is going on? Fingers remain crossed. Please update when you can re: today's vet visit for Teddy... I honestly don't know. Teddy is otherwise happy, silly, playful and himself. This too started several weeks back with him not wanting to eat breakfast. Walking over to the breakfast bowl like there was posion in there. Making it about 1 foot short of the bowl and standing there. I wold coax and get him to get, but not easliy as I watch the clock needing to get to work. Some days he would eat, some days not but I made sure he made up for it at dinner. Now, it started for dinner. This is how things started with Beau and the IBD- but THAT COULD NOT BE! At first I thought it was Ollie- but becasue they are both (Beau and T) otherwise being themselves, not mopey at all, I really don't think so. We had the labs done today. Vet tomorrow!

Guest TeddysMom Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Robin, could it be the batch of food that you got. A few months ago, all my dogs seemed to not enjoy their food which they had been on for a couple of years and most would leave some of it. Their poop changed a little and I finally called the company to see if they had changed their formula or changed their ingredient supplier. They did have a new supplier of a couple of the ingredients. I changed food, half/half until I finished off the old food. From the time I ran out of the old food, they were all eating like they were starving and the poop firmed up. Do your other 3 eat like they did before? Just a thought.

dbullwinkel Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Hi Robin..I am glad Beau continues to eat and improve..sorry about Teddy..I was thinking could this be a simple virus that they both managed to pick up? I went through this with both Garry and Flex just recently..both who have bad stomachs. Flex's situation is similar to Beau as they both have auto-immune issues. He stops eating, vomits, has pain and loses weight real fast. at 13 lbs...that can be dangerous. Garry gets bloody D real fast and has to limit his foods. Just recently they both started with their respective symptoms...at the same time. It was short lived as Beau is showing. MB thought maybe they both has a stomach upset. Missy has an iron stomach! Keep us posted on both.! Donna Edited November 28, 2009 by dbullwinkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinM Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Teddy has bascially refused all/most food. He is a big guy at 85 pounds and needs a lot of calories. Yesterday, he ate a can of Blue Turkey. At dinner he refused his kibble with FRESH turkey. He ate a few cookies happily. Today, he refused breakfast again. I took out Beau's HP (prescription food) and Teddy ate 2 cups hungrily. Interesting? His appointment is at noon. And the Beau Beau did decently yesterday. He is NOT eating the kibble anymore, but the wet z/d and fish. OY. This morning we made the announcement that RED DOGS RULE! (Chloe and Ollie are super chow hounds) and such a pleasure.

Charlies_Dad Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Wow, that is very stressful, I can't imagine having to go through this. I've read your past issues with Beau and IBD and am dearly hoping he continues to eat, whatever it is! As for Teddy, what's up with that? Come on boy you can't go starting things as well. Hoping today is better.
