Kirby is going to the vet today

[robinh]

He threw up his dinner, so a fast call to the vet and fast trip back to the office. He's now on anti-vomiting meds twice a day; antibiotics twice a day and carafate for his stomach. I'm also feeing him 3 times a day instead of 2 - smaller meals.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that things will improve soon. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Kirby is still having issues. He went to the vet on Wednesday for another shot. Seemed to be doing well until 12:15 am on Saturday morning - lost what was left of his dinner from the night before. Tried breakfast and within 1 hour it all came back up. So back to the vet on Saturday at 7:30 am. More bloodwork, another shot, two prescriptions, and a nutritional supplement later we came home. The vets can find no physical reason for him to be sick. Have to give him 3-4 small meals a day. Keep him as calm as possible and hope for the best.

Only good news we got at the vet was that he'd gained back half pound of the three pounds he's lost throughout this ordeal. For a 20 lb pupper that's a lot of weight to lose in 10 days.

Poor little guy could sure use some more prayers.

Prayers on the way!

Many more prayers headed Kirbys way. Get better little guy.

Prayers are definitely on the way for Kirby. It's just so darn frustrating when a cause can't be found for the issues, and of course they can't talk and give any clues either.

Come on Kirby - get better. Your Mom is so worried about you. Hang in there Robin - and {{{huggs}}} for you and gentle cuddles for Kirby.

Just catching up on this thread. Oh my, Kirby, not feeling well, are you fella? Sending you gentle cuddles and healing prayers from RI.

I'm so sorry to hear that he's still not doing well. Do you think that he could be allergic to something in his diet? Could he maybe have IBD? My RB cat Storm kept throwing up his food so I also kept taking him to the vet. He was finally diagnosed with small intestinal disease which is a form of IBD. His folate levels were very low so I had to give him supplements for 6 weeks. He was put on prednisolone in the morning and pepcid at night and he never had any more vomiting issues. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
