Prayers for my Yodie, please; She has MRSA; *Update* 1/5; good/bad news; #269

Just spoke to Dr. Lee; he said to stop all oral meds for one entire day to give her stomach a rest. Unfortunately, the Doxycyclene (for the MRSA) can sometimes cause esophagitis and he thinks that could be the case w/her because her vomit was tinged w/blood. She ate breakfast, though, so he feels that she probably does not have an ulcerated esophagus because swallowing would be too painful. If, after she goes back on the med, she vomits again, he said "I'll tear my hair out b/c then our only other option is the injection, which stings and is expensive. You'll get the first injection accomplished w/no problem; after that you'll have a tough time". She didn't vomit after breakfast and she's in her favorite spot in the patio room, which is good b/c that means she's feeling better or she'd be hiding in the basement as she did yesterday. Here's hoping for a good, calm day. Please keep the prayers coming for my little girl. I feel so bad for her.

Awwww, Yodie I hope your tummy feel better soon. Sorry about the yucky meds making you feel not so great.

Poor Yodie!! I'm so sorry about the vomiting!!! She's going through so much, and nausea is the last thing she needs right now!!

I hope her stomach will calm down soon without the oral meds!

One question: Is she eating more kitty gras now that she's nauseaus? Just asking because it can be counterproductive in times of nausea. When Luna was so sick earlier this year, she would eat it excessively and threw it up so my vet recommended to put it away until her stomach got some rest.

Best wishes for your poor Yodie!

No, I don't keep it in the house. I tried it several years ago, Boo ate it all in one night, roots and all and had dirt on his nose in the morning. LOL
