Hi all, first time posting I'm hoping for a little insight or to see if anyone has experienced the same. So 2 weeks ago my 19yr old connie x out of the blue started to hypersalivate , rang the vets his vitals were all fine so kept an eye over night and they came out in the morning, took bloods gave steroids (thinking along the lines of poisoning) that evening vets rang he is in liver failure , took him in for biopsy , wen running standard tests they found a huge stomach impaction which had stretched the stomach 5 times the normal size , he had been pooing normal amount and still eating aswell. We managed to remove the impaction thru starving him and fluids for few days regular walking, he's still at the vets , they manage to flush it out. Biopsy is done results came back some of liver damaged non replaceable some is replaceable . He's come back into normal function this is from bloods taken while still at vets 2 weeks after. Due to impaction he had been out on grass in day starved at night as need to try and get the stomach to shrink back down and time to empty, scans every day stomach is emptying over night but still saggy and stretched. He's now home and on fast fibre feeds regularly thru the day out for 2hrs on grass, nothing at night being scanned again in a week and a half. Has anyone else experienced a stretched stomach and did it go back to normal? We r obviously hoping it does as the diet He's on is not one I want for him going forward its not ideal. His prognosis is guarded amd just wandered if there r any other ppl out there who have experienced this with good outcomes? Thankfully for reading
