I will begin to apologize for being more out than in. I am so sorry, you girls (and guys) are awesome, but I am so tired and depressed about my furbaby. I did not sleep well in the past nights because I wake up in the night to check on her breathing (it reminds me of the days when I did that for her BGs).
Anyway, the asthma attacks seem to be triggered by pain and unfortunately nothing came on radiography, ultrasound or CBC.
She lies down all day long, not getting up unless she needs to go to the litter box, so it is not neuropathy. However, she has kind of robotic walking style that reminded me a lot of my sciatica attacks. The doctor thinks that the kidney stones (struvites) are giving her a hard time and we are currently trying to figure out the best way to address it. She still gets the inhaler because the pain can shoot so high through her little body that it triggers the asthma attack.
Did or do you girls deal with kidney stones issues for your furbabies? Any idea about treatment options and especially food options/supplements?
Chanel is currently on fluticasone (inhaler) twice a day, Cerenia once every other day, Zyrtec twice a day, Amoxy suspension twice a day, and Gabapentin twice a day.
She has diarrhea or more like 'she is peeing through her butt' and it scares me so so much. I used to give her the probiotic (the S. boulardii is coming tomorrow and hopefully it will change things) before but before she did not take so much medication.
I know it is usually the amoxy that will kill the gut bacteria, but oh boy, the gabapentin does not do any favors. I gave her the gabapentin last night and I thought she will start vomiting. Her doctor changed her to bupre.
In conclusion, the poor Chanel baby may have back ache due to kidney stones and tummy aches because her little body became a pharmacy. I am trying to make things right, but I am so confused right now, spending time between working and trying to find foods that may help with the kidney stones.
If you can help me with some hints, please do. I do not care about how expensive it might be, I want to see some relief on that little face. Even now she is so loving and kissing my hands...and I feel horrible because my hands give her all that medication that makes her even worse.
I am sorry, I am just not in a good place.
