KF_in_Georgia Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I hope the acupuncture will help Beau. Sam enjoyed his acupuncture session (got to lie on the floor, and lots of people petted him because it was a training session for veterinary acupuncturists and Sam was their volunteered "victim"). They specifically noted during the session that his pulse slowed down as he felt better, even though he had not exhibited much of a real problem. (Just some "old man" gimpiness on occasion.) Anyway, Sam did move better after the session. I know Beau's diet is restricted, but can he have real fish? Something like sardines or tuna? The smell might arouse his interest, and you could just try non-stop treating him if he'll eat them.

carronstar Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I read this and flashed back to your cooking Tilapia for him last year. Can he still have that? No advice but lots of hugs for Beau and his mom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks for everyones prayers. Unfortunately, we had to start the pred again to jump start him. So, we gave him 10mg of pred this afternoon. DH came home from work around 2 to see if he could get something into him. Nodda. Beau gets tilapia reguarly and he hasn't shown any interest in that either. He has eaten a few of his dehydrated tilapia cookies we make him. We dehydrate 10 pounds of tilapia a week for him!!! But what we did do (and I pray to GOD we don't live to regret this) we gave him tuna water added to his kibble and he ate close to 2 cups. He IS walking better - how do I know this? He JUMPED up and me and tried to tongue me. Anyone who knows my Beau, knows that's just what he does! I wish I could say we are on our way, but I know better. So, one meal at a time, we will get through his too. We have to. I see no other options when it comes to my Beau.

Guest IHeartDogs Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 *sending healing thoughts for sweet Beau* It is so scary when our dogs get sick, but with Beau having IBD it is even more urgent he gets better quickly. : Keep us updated.

RobinM Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 As a side note, there is a YAHOO IBD board run by gestapos very structured people. Let's put it this way, I have been a member since 1/09 and I still have my posts "moderated for approval" whenever I post which is not very often. Maybe 1 or 2 every 3-6 months. BUT, they really know the IBD stuff better than a lot of vets. If you can get by the nonsense of getting into trouble for things like not cutting a post you are answering and having your signatre with dogs, name, age, diagnosis, how diagnosed, where you live, food you tried, are on, meds, Etc., etc., not on the post each and every time, it's a greyt tool. So, I asked if ANYONE on the board ever went from pred to budesonide and so far-- no one has said anything. Like everything I do in life... One day at a time...

RobinM Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Better night, even better morning. Back off pred since we only gave him one dose and it can't be the pred yet! Small baby steps. He is walking better and eating a little better. We will get there. No options.

RobinM Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Prayers for Beau. Beau you got to eat............get your strength back so you can do the walks. Thanks! He has plenty of strength for walks. We just can't do anything excessive although we did walk him this morning because he really wanted to go, it's been a week and he was walking much better. It's the eating thing.. or lack of... we were hoping he would continue like he was doing last night... but he is not... back on pred. Very upset about that... glad to hear he is doing better today! ehhhhh, not wonderful in the eating department.

RobinM Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Have I mentioned how much this SUX and how sick of it I am???? Really now.... ARGH. He has had less than 900 caloried 2 days in a row and before that 360 calories. And getting him to eat that is literally standing on our heads and spitting 14K Gold nickels. Totally ridiculous. And believe me if he didn't have the "issues" he has, it would be eat it or not. I have come a looooooong way in that department! Ask Teddy! I will be bringing him in tomorrow although I know it will be for naught. Sigh. I am very frustrated and yet I know I had 16 months of good with an IBD dog so I am ahead of the game... But still.
