PrairieProf Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Glad to hear positive news! I'm surprised he doesn't like the wet I/D, Beth scarfs it down like it's dog crack. But if he's doing well on the dry that's great!

MerlinsMum Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Glad to hear positive news! I'm surprised he doesn't like the wet I/D, Beth scarfs it down like it's dog crack. Yup - but Merlin is a wizard and he just has to be different I just hope he keeps eating the dry kibble and doesn't go off it in a couple of days - or we're in trouble I just spoke to my vet. She said that anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours is okay in terms of spacing out the Sucralfate and the Pepcid. She did say I should probably wait at least 30 minutes before feeding him, so that's what I'll do. And then I'll give him the Pepcid. I am very very grateful for everyone's advice... I just feel that if this is working, I should probably stick to it. We'll see, though. I'm open to changing anything and everything I'm doing if it turns out not to work. So please do keep any suggestions coming, I may not update as often as I'd like, but I read EVERYTHING! The latest is that he had FULLY FORMED, FIRM poop this afternoon!!!!!

Guest IHeartDogs Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Wonderful! Keep it up! Don't worry about changing things (we just wanted the med timing to be better so they work 100%). You want to keep him stable and then you can worry about what to feed or what other drugs/supplements you want to use. Good job Merlin, you keep eating and giving out solid poos. So happy for you Hope you get some sleep and things settle down at work & home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
