BRODIE is HOME -> (AGAIN) Still Needs Your Prayers!

[christa]

At this point, I am completely & utterly at a loss for words. I have no clue what to do.

I think I'm just going to give it some time right now. He's only vomited once so far. He's eating today and hasn't vomited, yet. I'm just going to give it some time.

Christa--No they just did a standard X-ray minus the barium. We thought she was vomiting due to either 1) the thyroid medication she was on or 2) her stomach did not like the new food I switched them to. I honestly did not think she had a blockage until she continued to throw up despite having removed her from both the medication and the food. Prayers are coming your way!

Christa, I'm glad to hear Brodie is back home but sorry that he puked. I do agree that maybe you should just watch him to see - it could be switching him to a new food may be a factor. Ripley is my puker here and he does it in waves. He'll puke almost daily for a few weeks and then take a break for a few weeks. When he does throw up it is always in piles of three. Guess it likes to spread the joy.

Anyway, I just recently switched the whole gang to a weight managment food and it made several puke at first even though I introduced it gradually. They hate the food and seem to only eat it as last resort. I'm going to have to find another brand but dread the puking again.

Maybe it's just going to take Brodie a little time to get his system back in order.

Maybe it's just going to take Brodie a little time to get his system back in order.

I hope you're right Lori. Initially the vet asked that I give the new food 6 weeks to see if it would make a difference. So I guess that's what I'm going to try to do.

6 weeks . . . let's hope we can make it 6 weeks with minimal vomiting . . .

[christa]

Please keep praying for Brodie. He's no better. I'm going to call the vet today.

He threw up 4 piles of food last night & 1 water. He doesn't seem to have a fever, just can't keep his food down.

I'm going to ask her about the pred . . . see if there is anything we can do to stop the vomiting.

[christa]

Taking Brodie back to the vet today at 4:05. Not sure what's going to happen, if they'll want to keep him again or what.

I'm just numb from all of this. I've cried my eyes out . . . I'm just at a loss for words.

Please keep praying for my little man.

Oh sweetie!

Maybe is IS something as straightforward as what Callie had...and just in case, contact IMOM in case some surgery is indicated, it can be pricey!

Awwww, I am so sorry to hear that Brodie is still having trouble with keeping his food down. Poor little guy.... and poor Meowmie! I know that you are just heartsick about this. I will keep Brodie in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep up posted after the vet visit. Lots of warm wishes coming your way.

[Laura's Babies]

OH MY GOSH Christa! I am at a loss for words!! Just know he is back in my prayers and I will have him in my thoughts all day today. I'll be walking the floor until you get back from the vets!

[catnapper]

Oh Christa!!! ((hugs)))) I am at a loss here for you. Many prayers for Brodie, please keep us updated. I was going to PM you this morning to see if everything went well last night.... I just had a feeling and I can't help but feel helpless here for you.

[jazzcat]

Christa I'm so sorry. I hope they can get to the bottom of this quickly for both your sakes. Poor little Brodie.

I'll be out with my Dad all day today but you can bet I will be checking in tonight to see how our little guy is. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sick with worry though I am about my Ted, I'm in tears over Brodie. The vomiting sound too extreme for allergies, but then I'm not a DVM. Can you take him to a specialist center? Are you thinking of an ultra-sound? The barium could have flowed past an obstruction since Brodie eats sometimes and doesn't throw up, and he poops. An obstruction can move around and cause blockage and irritation sometimes, and then move away into a less obstructive position. Obstructions don't show up well on x-rays, as others have posted, that's why they can become dire emergencies. In your position, I'd go to a specialist or demand an ultra-sound. Actually, an ultra-sound will probably mean they will need to call in a specialist or you take Brodie to one. One of my vets is good at reading them, the other says he is not, but they still encouraged me to pay for a radiologist in attendance.

We are all rooting for Brodie, he HAS to get better.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Hugs for you and your meowmie little Brodie

Christa, I'm so sorry to hear that Brodie has made a turn for the worse again. I'd also request an ultrasound and hopefully this will be able to find the cause of his vomiting. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care.

Sorry to read that Brodie is still continuing to have problems.
Will keep good thoughts and prayers.
