Vet Appointment

Topaz had a vet appt this morning.

His temp was 105!! omg...we're lucky he didn't have a seizure just from the temp alone!! (and my husband is out right now getting a thermometer for the dogs)

But he was dx with pancreatitis. He got a shot of Cerenia and they sent us home with flagyl and an antacid type med and did some other blood work.

We did a KBr level because I was worried about KBr toxicity and we also did the 6 panel thyroid testing. We should know more later on tonight or tomorrow. They did send him home with us since we were going to be home all day and could monitor him ourselves.

We have to check his temp and see if he can keep down his PB in an hour or so. I'm pretty sure he threw up most of his meds yesterday.

 

We're also probably going to try to lower his PB and/or KBr once we get through this because although he's gone 175 days seizure free, he's been pretty spacey and out of it as of late..well, he has had good and bad days, let's say that. 

 

So, he's not out of the woods yet, but we can see the sunlight between the trees. 

Also, I am thinking that we may need to switch him to turkey necks rather than chicken backs. I am waiting for a text message from the woman who sells us our food to get her input on that.
