RobinM Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Mary- cow hoofs. I take his food and stuff it in there and freeze it so he has a treat which is really his food. We get 1/4 can into each hoof and we have a tray in the freezer with 1/3 an in each hoof. It's just what we do with what we got! Don't tell him. Dinner was difficult. Total for today. 1 cup kibble am 1 cup kibble pm some tilapia some z/d canned. We need more calories.

Do you think the cow hoofs are causing him some GI distress?? Are you sure he can handle beef??? Just a thought. edited 'cause I can't spell Edited June 13, 2010 by tbhounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 He doesn't eat the hoofs. Just the food. Not an issue. And he has not touched a hoof in 48 hours. He's just not wanting to eat. I will speak to the vet tomorrow when she calls about his labs and my guess is that we will have to increase the pred although it's only been 5 days. It's been a real struggle getting him to eat. So far today 1 cup of kibble (254 calories) and 3/4 of a tilapia fish. That's it. And that did not come easy.

Guest Hollys2hounds Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Checking in on you and Beau this morning... I know you are waiting to speak with the vet, but any changes in his eating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Robin I haven't been on so much lately and haven't read the entire thread, but isn't there some sort of vitamin B shot that is supposed to help stimulate appetite (I've only read about this, don't really know anything about it)? Would that be something Beau could have? I am so sorry you are going through this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinM Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) We managed to get him to eat by the end of the day yesterday but it did not come easy. Vet called this morning and as we thought, his labs were perfect. So, we will stay on course with 10mg pred and increase to 20 mg every other day until that jump starts him. He is not acting like himself. He is usually highly insane. He is subdued. Subdues and Beau do not go together. He is not depressed. Just kinda dragging. Can't figure this out.
