4My2Greys Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 There have been posts here about Manuka Honey from Wedderspoon Organics. This may help with his stomach upset. I actually bought some last week, but my hounds don't have any stomach issues right now so have not used it. I wish the best for your Mom's hound. Nan I know Ozzy's mom very well, in fact me and Nadir and she and Ozzy have done many a Meet & Greet together for GPA-Emerald Coast. I brought her some Manuka honey to use for Ozzy. Sadly he just is not eating and she started to have to force feed him Friday, but has had some difficulty with it. I stopped by yesterday after work and showed her how to do it. If they say it's okay to proceed with the radiation I'm not sure if she will leave him or not, but I told her if she brings him home I will come over before and after work to assist with feedings. Hopefully his appetite can be stimulated so that he wants to eat again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjg13 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Still no exact diegnosos, but Auburn doesn't think it's cancer. They won't completely rule it out, though. He has some inflammation on his brain and some swelling. It appears to be idiopathic. He also has high blood pressure, but that may be the prednisone. Poor guy only weighs 52 lbs, down from his normal 70. The resident doctor that was treating Ozzy studied under Dr. Couto at OSU and she said she will be consulting with him on Ozzy.

Remolacha Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I am sorry there is still no diagnosis for Ozzie, but it sounds like he is getting the best possible care I hope they can find some answers and it is treatable. Good news on the "probably no cancer"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I don't have any advice on the possible tumor front, but on the food thing I would continue syringe-feeding. My foster Chase (will be 14 next month) has days where she won't eat, and she goes outside to eat grass. That's a sign that her tummy is acidic and bothering her. I agree with adding Carafate, and hopefully the syringe-feeding will jump-start his appetite. I syringe-feed Chase every morning, but she eats the rest of her meals that day on her own. Good luck!
