6greyhounds Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have been doctoring him for over 3 weeks with the big D - it is all water and I also get a 4 am wake up call The idiots at the vet when I took in fecal samples of the 4 pups combined it in one and discovered on of the pups had hook worm - which one ?????? Treated all 4 for hook. EZ developed the big D (all water) Penske and Arby soft mushy bowels - put them on Flagyl - still mushy plus EZ still had watery bm's. Decided to give them all Pancur still mushy and EZ watery, gave more Flagyl - Arby and Penske starting to form but EZ still watery - so I am tired of playing around and I will be going to the ER vet shortly Will update later Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6greyhounds Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 They kept EZ. He was not acting normal when I drove there he laid down most of the way which is not EZ and Pam who knows him from going to Neurology clinic remarked that he was not acting right and they will be doing an ultra sound later, noticed he had a shunt in his leg, will be transferring him to internal meds later on asked for fecal matter - asked them how to you get the big D in a container? Took kibble, canned food, cream cheese, carrots and people crackers along with his meds Praying that they will find out what is wrong with him Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6greyhounds Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Is it good news or bad news Vet said they are still waiting for lab work to come back and to safe me some money they will discharge him with the new medications - can go pick him up in an hour. They are now treating him for an infection. It will be according to his labs of how they will proceed to the next stage - which could be a biopsy - hope we don't have to go that route - btw one of the meds he is now on is tygan Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6greyhounds Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have him home - no more flagyl but he is now on Baytril and Tylan plus a bland diet until I hear further after they get his labs back Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newgreymom Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Beryl, Tylan is a wonder drug. Is it the powder that you sprinkle on the food? Dylan had the big D for months. All the tests came back negative so the vet decided to try Tylan powder. It worked within a few days and he's not had any trouble since.

6greyhounds Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 yes it is the one you sprinkle on the food now praying that all his tests are negative Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feisty49 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Was Tylan a 'script? I just Googled to read about it and found it on Amazon as well as other on-line pet supply stores. Wondering if it's the same thing vets prescribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6greyhounds Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 don't need a script unless you live in California and yes that is it try kv vet supply also Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6greyhounds Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I don't know why but he had a seizure around 9:20 pm - I wonder if they did not dose him with the proper amount of Phenobarbital and Potassium Bromide while he was in the hospital - he usually does not have seizures at this time but in the we hours on the morning..........

Newgreymom Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The poor guy...The seizure could be stress related from being in the hospital. Hoping that he feels better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
