Blaze (Dixie's brother) is not eating

[tatsxxx11]

Oh, poor Blaze I hope the B.E. gives them some idea of what's going on. Hoping for the best and sending prayers your way, sweet Blaze, Kathi and Bob.

Thinking about poor Blaze! Get well quick, Sweetie!

[captain]

Fingers crossed for you Blaze! Get well soon sweetheart!

I wish Blaze gets better soon

Don't we sometimes wish our furbabies could talk? They could be in pain, but they don't complain... Something could be bothering them , but they can't tell us which one...

I'll also be praying for Kathi and Bob... This must be very hard for them.. We know how each other feels when our furkid is sick

Hugs from Rosebel , Missy and Toby

Dixie how is Blaze doing, is he eating better yet? Have they found the reason why he doesn't want to eat? Hope he is doing well by now.

Yes Candy, please give us an update on Blaze's condition!

[Sudilar]

Awaiting news....hope it's good.

The latest I heard was last night. The Barium was taking forever to get through the bowel. They did 3 different X-rays but it had not gone far enough to determine anything. He was to go back in this morning to have another X-ray and possibly exploratory surgery. I will update everyone when we know more.

Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

Prayers continuing.

I emailed this update to the Prayer Pawtrol.


Update on Blaze:

There is still no news on what is wrong with Blaze. He still is not eating. Yesterday they gave him a Barium solution to highlight his insides. X-rays came back normal. It took forever but it reached all the way to his Colon by this morning. They did another X-ray and again nothing. All his blood work came back fine. He has even been acting ok (although a little lethargic due to not eating). They did exploratory surgery this morning and didn't find anything there either. I thought for sure he had a blockage but they didn't find any.

He is now on intravenous fluids but will be coming home tonight around 7:00 pm. Kathi is a basket case as you all can imagine. I am also in tears. We are talking about a very bright and naturally vibrant young boy! He is only 5 years old.

I thank you all for your prayers and ask that you continue (in double time if possible). Prayer that they can find out what is causing him to not eat.

Oh Candy... a gazillion prayers for Blaze..having recently gone through the unknown, I feel the pain and anxiety and heart-pounding worry... I grasped at everything-.sense of smell, taste, sore throat... Thank God Cody didn't get as far as a B.E . or exploratory surgery!!! Poor Kathi and Bob!! I'm so upset for them too. Blaze is just a baby. I promise I'll pray as hard as I can, with all my might, that a reason is found and that Blaze starts to eat! What a spectacular GR family! {HUGS}}

PLEASE, Blaze, please eat.

Candy,

We'll continue to pray for Blaze

I tried to do some research in the internet .. And all the symptoms match the Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies in Dogs (dogs refuse to eat, vomiting or abnormal bowel movement)... And the diagnosis matches also the diagnosis that was done to Blaze by his vet. Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies in DOgs .. I hope and pray that the vet will be able to determine the problem

Can't imagine the pain and frustrations that Kathi and Bob are feeling right now Wish we could do something to help them...

Sending prayers and positive thoughts for Blaze to be well again.

It's so nerve racking when the vets
can't find anything wrong, and it's obvious that
their is.
I know dogs can't talk, so if the tests show
negative it's hard for a vet sometimes to determine the problem.
I will send many prayers that Blaze will be ok.
