Lastest On Snoopy Update #10

[Craftlady]

New Yrs Day evening we ended up in ER vet clinic with Snoopy. Poor guy was vomiting and had diarrhea. He was given medication and shot to settle his tummy.

January 4th we went to our regular vet for follow up visit. Xrays (to check for obstructions) and re-tested for Giardia. Both came back negative.

January 8th we were back in office (on Saturday). Blood work up done and showed elevated eosinophil count (EOS). This can indicate parasites or inflammatory bowel disease. Also mild elevated ALT (liver value) which might be from anxiety medications. Not to be concerned.

At this time he had science projects coming out his behind (blood clots) and vomiting was quite regular.

He was put on pepcid, dewormer for 3 days, Carafate (help his throat) and put on i/d food.

Thank God for pet insurance (FirstPetHealthcare, owned by Kroger's). I'm getting back 90% of invoices after the first $100 deductible was met. $573.83 total of 3 invoices
minus $100 deductible, from $473.83 at 90% ... my out of pocket with balances is $40.45.

All this time Snoopy he had a wag in his tail.

He is doing GREAT today. Still on the i/d food. Takes a pepcid 2x a day.

If that wasnt enough my mom had passed away Dec 19th at age 89. All I could think about was "God dont take Snoopy".

Oh my, I am so sorry for the loss of your mum. That takes some time to adapt to. My Mum passed over 16 years ago, and still, now and then I reach for the phone to call and share something with her.

Snoopy, what are you doing? Making sure all your allowance goes to the vet, no no you are supposed to spend your allowance on food, treats and toys!

Hope the food and pepcid keep working and he feels better. Sounds like you've been doing a lot of cleaning up, in addition to the worry, the vet trips and so forth. Prayers that all that is behind BOTH of you!

Oh, my goodness you have been through a lot. Terribly sorry about your mother. Mine is 90 and not in the greatest health - my dad passed away almost 2 years ago now.

Snoopy, you got to get better buddy. You are worrying your mom way too much. I had a Snoopy who did that too so I know what she is going through. Keep taking your medicine and get better soon.

I will be keeping you and your pup in my prayers.

Oh my, so sorry about the loss of your mother.
It's so stressful when our furbabies are sick. I hope Snoopy feels better soon and you can get this under control.

I am glad to hear that Snoopy seems to be doing a lot better now.
Even if he has to stay on the special food for awhile, it is worth it.
I've seen the ads for the pet insurance at Kroger before, but never new
anyone who had it. I does sound like a very good thing that you had it
for Snoopy.

I am very sorry for the passing of your Mother. You have my sympathy.

Hello, I am sorry your Snoopy has not been well but glad to hear he is feeling better now. My Luke cat is on special food--expensive, isnt it--but worth it to keep our furbabies feeling good. Also, I am sorry you lost your mother. Kay in NC
