Amps 190 Contour

I wanted to give an increase todayโ€ฆ.but yesterday Ivy really took a turn back to very loose poops and at dinner she did not want to eat her regular lamb meal ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
I had to feed her baby food and syringe some of it as well just to get the food into her. She didnโ€™t get any of her supplements.

She ate baby food for her snacks last night, and I added S. Boulardii again to try to help.

There was another very nasty very loose poop episode around 11:30 PM and Iโ€™m not sure, there might have been a puke in the box, too. It was actually hard to tell if it was poop or puke ๐Ÿคฎ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Got that cleaned up and she did come to visit me a few times as I โ€œsleptโ€ on the sofa near her. Not much sleeping going on, however โ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธ

This morning she seems like she feels a little better, I was able to get her regular food with supplements into her, maybe 2/3 of her meal and gave her some baby food as well.

I gave her the vitamin B12 shot just now, hoping that will help since it is the second dose sheโ€™s had.
The plan is to continue B12 injections for six weeks and then go monthly.
Giving the shot was easier than I feared, so that was good ๐Ÿ™
Now I just need to source it at a better price than from the vet. Chewy is out of it but Jo sent a link to another source.

Back on Ondansetron and Mirataz again to keep any nausea away ๐Ÿ™

I may give some fluids today too. Just a bit concerned since her ProBNP blood test was high (may indicate heart issues?). So I donโ€™t want to give too much. May give 50 mls to be safe.

One of my vets feels it could be elevated due to the pancreatitis episode , so will recheck that again once sheโ€™s feeling better.

So difficult balancing all the conditions, meds etc.
Sending good vines to all for a boring day ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ˜ป

Snack at 1:30 am today (baby food) ๐Ÿฅ˜

Been praying for sweet Ivy and thinking of you guys often๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ I hope the b12 shot will help her ๐Ÿ’ฉ itโ€™s great that she was able to eat most of her food today. I hope today is better and youโ€™re able to get some rest too Staci!

Thank you Elizabeth, we appreciate the prayers and caring more than you know.
Sending the love back to you and Mister! ๐Ÿซ‚ ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ˜
 
God help me but I gave an increase (I rarely give a pm increase) but I donโ€™t like her BG. And I need her to eat.
Anti jinx ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
She perked up around 4 pm after sleeping in a dark room all day and ate her dinner well ๐Ÿฅฐ

I may decrease the Ondansetron to a lower dose. My vet thinks itโ€™s cause her to have loose poops.

I think the Vitamin B12 may be a miracle injection ๐Ÿช„โœจ๐ŸŒŸ
 
Crossing all our fingers and paws over here that the B12 works some magic for Ivy! So sorry youโ€™re dealing with this ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿƒ You and Ivy are so strong, glad you have each other
Thank you Briana ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚
I hope so ๐Ÿ™
You and Binx are on my mind constantly and Iโ€™m sending positive energy and healing thoughts with prayers to you both ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–
 
Did you get the Dr. Tobias prebiotic? Any word on the GI Panel?

HyperT and CKD โ€œcanโ€ cause Cardio ProBNP to be elevated as well.

Hope she feels/eats better.

I did get the product but only tried it a few times. At the time nothing was working.

Both vets I use suggested stoping ondansetron and even S. Boulardii since nothing was working. Then she got the B12 shot and it was like magic.

Today I gave her next B12 shot and she feels much better tonight. Ate well and Iโ€™m waiting on pins and needles for her next poop. Very nervous about that.

I gave her 1/2 capsule of S Boulardii in her meal tonight and lowered her ondansetron dose from 8 mg to 2mg. (Holly thinks it causes her GI problems).
If sheโ€™s eating well Iโ€™ll try to taper off of it but keep the Mirtaz and Cerenia.

Very nervous since she seems to improve then go backwards again.
Maybe I took away the Mirataz too soon on Monday (had been giving it for 3 weeks).

I am worried about the Cardio ProBnp. Both Docs seem to want to see if we test again after this flare is over (when would that be?)

Especially with giving fluids. Donโ€™t want to give too much in case a heart issue.

Still waiting for the TAMU GI panel results.

Thanks Marje ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿฅฐ
