Hi All,
I just took Bailey in to the vet because his bottom is so sore,
inflamed, red and poop oozing out (sorry to be so graphic), we are
taking him off the clindamycine and she wanted me to take him off the
doxy but I'm not going to. I am going to give him a break from all the
supps except pet tinic and metamucil. She gave me something called
gastriplex to help replace the good bacteria the antibiotics are killing
off and he is going back on azithromycin as of tomorrow, had to order it.
I have been praying for a miracle all weekend, asking my guides, angels,
parents, everyone to help Bailey feel better and help with the anemia.
Somebody is listening, his HCT is up to 23% from 15%, he has been on the
epogen for three weeks and it actually went down from 18% to 15% before
it started coming up. My vet feels it is an accuarate reading (she said
dehydration can cause an inaccurate number but because his protein also
went down from 7.2 to 6.4 he is not dehydrated).
We still have not heard from the pathologist, but she said she is going
to bug them until she hears something.
Bailey is still lethargic but I attribute that to his bottom being so
sore and the diarrhea, he probably just doesn't feel too good, but
thankfully things are going in the right direction. He is getting
plently of food and weighted 8lbs 12oz on her scale, a gain from 8lbs
6oz on mine yesterday, not sure how accurate that is, her scale is
usually 1 oz more than mine, but he is not losing! I was totally
prepared for her to tell me he needed a transfusion. So I feel much
better now than I did a few hours ago :)
