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

[CalliesMom]

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.

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 . . .

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.
