At the End of My Rope

How is your boy doing today?

[RGC]

He has been on the steroids for a week. The diarrhea has changed in consistency, not as runny, and not as frequent. I thought he went over 3 stacked baby gates and deposited a couple piles in the living room but he found a hole in the bottom one that I did not notice. So that's fixed. I have noticed that he appears to be feeling better and he is one "bad boy". Smart and into everything. I would find that amusing if I wasn't so worried about his diarrhea. The vet said there's about a 50/50 chance we can help him. He is a sweet boy but I find it very difficult living like this. He has another week on the steroids . . . say a little prayer for him.

Will do!

Prayers and healing energies for him and you too.

I hope he'll continue to improve. I know how frustrating this can be. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Here's the latest on my boy. Wednesday of this week I decide to put him on a diet of white rice and boiled brest of chix. Nothing else. Well he hasn't had diarrhea since late Wednesday night. In fact he has had any type of bowel movement since late Wednesday night. He is not fond of the rice and usuallty leaves it in his bowl, so he has been eating boiled breast of chix for almost 3 days. Now, should I be concerned about no bowel movement?

Try adding some canned pumpkin in, and see if "poop happens!"

I'm not sure what the frequency should be, but I would think he would have gone by now. He's not going elsewhere and hiding it? It could be his body is adjusting with the change in diet.

Praying he feels better soon.
