I finally just bit the bullet and decided to go back up to .75u today. I'm not sure if it's the medication he's currently on or some other thing, but seeing all this pink makes me a sad mama bean. ): So up we go. Appetite is still great, at least.
We went to the vet for his recheck today, they took some blood and sent it out so I won't know until tomorrow probably if his liver is all back to normal. Dr. Cooper is usually pretty good about his diet being raw but today for some reason she was insistent on me switching him off of it. I told her that when he came home from the vet I did try to get him onto canned food, but he was only licking the juice + water and leaving most of the food itself there and had just opted to try a different brand of frozen raw for the time being. She was saying that given he was eating kibble before his surgery that I should put him onto a prescription kibble instead of feeding raw, which I refused. An all-kibble diet is what gave him gallstones in the first place and there's literally no way I'm going to shell out that much money for crap food.
Ughh. Hoping that his liver is completely back to normal so that I can confirm it has nothing to do with his diet. She even had said herself that the reaction was more typical of a toxin than something like salmonella seeing as there were no white blood cells, but whatever. I mentioned the neosporin thing again to her but she didn't seem to think it would have anything to do with it, despite the fact that since I stopped using it when he came home but continued his diet, there hasn't been any puking at all. So frustrating!
