There are a number of probiotics available in health food stores and
lactinex (sorry about the spelling but it is close) is available in a lot of
pharmacies that will help until your order gets in. As the pharmacist.
Mine likes critters and will do what she can to help. If you can find
FastTrack it will help.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Subject: Bailey - Update
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 :)
