On mobile will try keep this basic points (you know that wont happen!)will have lots of predictive typos and will turn epic so grab a duvet!
Please can anyone advise/help me thru this as my vet has told me to email but hasnt bothered responding and feeling a bit desperate/abandoned.
White Shepherd.entire male.6 on aug 10.
Reactive rescue with me since June 2011.came with baggage but generrally happy and healthy.never needed vet till aug this year.
was raw fed/home cooked fed till aug 10 2015.home cooked only since.always been lean from his high energy levels and stressy nature but with him 24/7 & since bf appeared on scene he has calmed massively. New rescue joined us in april is v chilled and made him more relaxed still.
diarrhoea loose stools not true runs fri27jul and 9 hours hellish car journey excessive licking anal gland abcess appeared &on the sun eve burst ..angry and fast.saw vet mon.antibs for ten days.
stopped raw food after diarrhoea thinking my confidence dropped in my mince supplier and the rabbit mince was poss the trigger meal. Both dogs breath had become slightly more noticeable do swapped to home cooked raw tripe chicken wings and necks and meaty bones (lamb necks) to replace the bone missing from mince being stopped .
on advice from a group I gave three over six days.teeth and breath were whiter and imoroced after first.aug 14-18.18th I noticed watery blood from anal gland abcess site and looser stools buyt not runs.he had been pooing inch size shapes of bone.
vet said stop the bones completely so he stayed on home cooked.chicken, rice, veggies, turmeric coconut oil etc fish eggs milk tripe offal heart.
He always has three meals per day.
bella my Estrela mountain dog had 4 occasions in the days of last week of aug with runny poo on her feathers then
Aug 31 Connie brought three meals back up undigested .
next am was projectile waterjet poos.she was fine so suspect cooked frozen liver or the ride or chicken of the weekend upset him as she was s bit loose again.
took him to vet tues1st sept(diarrhoea day) vet looked st him from across the room.i showed his gums without being asked no pulse breathing resp or temperature taken tho did palate tummy and gave antisickness jab.
5 days omepeazole and a tube of cannicur pre/pro biotics.(5ml twice day for 3days.) Told feed 6times a day from tablespoon size up feed bland foods chicken and rice as you would a person with ibs.vet thought it was from too much food variety. Had been slowly improving till the sat 5th.some nights less busy..thurs was up hourly.
I noticed he would graze frantically in the early hours and have grassy sick.a couple had blood specs.i put this down to straining.thurs he had a colitisy mucousy loose poo vet said should firm by weekend(email).sat am he had runs and grassy sick with bloody spots spoke to vet on phone.
As well in himself she gave more canicur paste and another 5days omeprazole.we thought poss chicken sensitive so feed scrambled eggs as before but fish and rice.first vet is very pro kibble which I will not feed.
By lunch he had the most rancid wind and I saw undigested rice in stools so took him off rice replaced with sweet potato.may have been my fault cooking too fast rather than the white basmati rice.he settled and poos improved.
He has lost a lot of weight tho was lean after the abcess but I felt he was bright and well in himself tho kept hiding/ under ved before any episodes so hes bee wearing his thundershirt..that seemed to help and has had either that or a looser fleece jacket on since sat as he looked and behaved cold without..I wanted him to kerp energy for recovery and not lose weight so comfort breaks garden access but short walks to keep mobility without loosing weight if we meet too many triggers.
The nights have been less interrupted and longer as I increased his portions (still on7meals a day) if feed at 0030 he was getting to 430 and needing a grassy sick but no blood and less each time.
poos improving but some soft others better..all have form now.yeo live yoghurt has helped.
Only had one undigested food return (mon lunch1.5hr later)but that was poss my fault not mashing enough so have blitzed to baby puree.improved still.better in himself stronger on walks.
last omeprazole was thurs 10pm. Only a small grassy sick and slept thru1230 -630.
I am hanging exhausted and with ME /fibromyalgia this has been tough on me but coping so yesterday decided ti cook all days food up in morning..blitz and portion it.cool and in fridge then the day would be easier.he didnt digest the peel on the sweet potato so I have to peel them.last night he had a sudden violent puke at 145..only a tablespoon of puree of the 400g he had at0030..
I wonder if this was the fish having been blitzed since morning and enzymes fermenting (I added hot water and mixed to take chill off).he had an urgent grass mission at 530 am sick grassy yellow froth.no blood.had three scrambled eggs after no probs and slept till 730.
he asked for food again now so sweet pot and fish on the hob..only one portions worth this time.
Vet still not replied to tues emails. (Short honest!)do I keep plodding or call vet or go back to vet with him.he only seems to grass purge when he gets hungry and I wondered if acid related? I gave charcoal for the first time last night after the sick.yeo live yog too.
please can someone help me and guide me thru this..I feel so absndoned its untrue.the only real help I have had was as always Be Positive on here(thank you!).shes sure its gut flora needing recovery..this would make sense.
Oh the fish is alaskan white pollock.i am too scared to try anything else as normal potato and quinoa have made him seem to flare up more. Any worries or experience v much appreciated esp things to go armed to vet with....
I need some wonderful hho vibes for Connie please and some nannying thru this..and caffeine!!thank you do much if you've got this far xxx
