4My2Greys Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I just got Nadir's incontinence issue solved, turns out he's developed an intolerance to fish, so had to change diet. Now we are getting a rumbling tummy and he walked away from his food this morning. I can tell by looking at him he's not feeling well. I've got an appointment this morning for him. Are there any suggestions for tests aside from a completed CBC and chemistry panel that I should have run? I'm going to have the tests done by Michigan School of Veterinary Medicine.

4My2Greys Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Trish and Chris thanks for thinking about Nadir. My vet put him on Flagyl which usually helps so that is good. The troubling thing is I'm not sure what set him off this time, was it the raw beef or the new kibble? tbhounds, thank you for your reply re testing. Can you tell me what those tests are? I won't be able to have them run this time as I was unaware of the fasting requirement prior to taking him in for a blood draw. Even though he walked away from his food midway through his meal he did come back later and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbhounds Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The spec cpl is the pancreas test (Idexx Lab) and here's a link to the TLI (long shot) http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_exocrine_pancreatic_insufficie.html Of course the full chemistry panel is a must.

Trihounds Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm late to read this, but sorry to hear of the trouble earlier today. Hopefully is feeling better by now.

Thank you for the link, I've saved it for future tests to have run. I did request a full chemistry panel along with CBC. Kerry thanks for keeping Nadir in your thoughts. My heart sinks when I read about Merlin having problems with his gut. Derek he does seem better this morning. The rumbling tummy continued through last night, but everything is quiet now. He ate his breakfast without any hesitation. I'm hoping his poop is improved from yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trihounds Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Glad to hear it, Judy!! Hopefully it was just a passing bug and he's back to his usual self today. Sounds like he's off to a good start!
