I need help!!!

Hello everyone I need help.

I have a 9 ½ year old female pit-bull. About 3 weeks ago she had her food and vomit right after. This went on for the next 3 days. I took her to her vet. He did blood work and took x-rays everything came back fine. He told me we should do an ultrasound to make sure we didn’t miss anything. I had to wait few days to have this test done. Few days later my dog didn’t even move anymore so I took her to the animal medical hospital. There they did x-rays, ultrasound, blood and urine work everything was just fine. They gave me i/d food and told me to give her Famotidine 10mg 1 table a day. Told me to keep her on this food for the next 3 days and to star mixing her food or chicken and feed her about 2 table spoons every 2 hours.
She was eating this food but she would still get attacks like she’s about to vomit but in the end she would keep it in. Some days she had 1 can some days only ½. Few days later she fell on my bed. She fell on her back legs. She started limping the next day, I was thinking it would get better but it didn’t and plus since she wasn’t eating well that didn’t help her much. Few days later I took her back to the animal medical hospital for x-rays they told me she has arthritis in both her hips and since she lost 20 pounds it put much stress on the hip. The doctor told she much eat a lot more and I have to give her pain meds. She gave me Tramadol 50mg she said my dog can have up to 4 tables per day.

She started eating a bit better but since I was giving her 2-3 tablets she was sleeping most of the time and had a really hard time eating so I cut it down to only 1 tablet at night time to help her sleep. She’s eat better now we are up to 1 ½-2 can per day and some chicken. She still gets mood and need help eating. Her leg is not getting any better it’s been almost a week since the x-rays.

I’m just wondering if there is anything else I can do for her. Maybe get her supplements or give her milk or something else.

Thank you very much,
Anna

How's your girl doing?

I wish had advice for you, but i don't. You've taken her to the vet.

IF it was just the arthritis bothering her I'd tell you to take her off her current pills and put her on EVA (see siggy) right away. The vomiting and weight loss worry me though.

Has her stool been checked repeatedly for worms/worm eggs?

You might have to get a second opinion.

Sorry I don't have much advice to offer. I had to post though since no one replied.
