Oh boy, here we go again. Last one was January, similar progression this time and oddly enough right before a full moon again. Please see spreadsheet for notes then.
Last night shortly after shot and his raw food meal (about an ounce of raw with dasuquin and salmon oil mixed in) I watched him use the box for a successful and what looked like normal BM. Within an hour after that I heard puking near the boxes - he puked up all his raw about 2' from the box but I'm not sure if he was there because his tummy got upset and he thought he had to use box or what. Occasionally he'll have a BM and puke afterwards, which I guess is a sign of IBD maybe, not sure.
So, wasn't too concerned, but then he wouldn't eat. Didn't look like he ate all night. He seemed comfortable. PMPS was 182 and 1.25U dose. I tested at +10 and he was 281, so he either dropped and bounced or it was up because he felt bad.
This AM he got up and seemed all right. Wanted outside, I don't know if he went for grass or not, possibly, but he has not puked anything up that I noticed. He did have some poop on his butt when I checked at shot time and there was a small bit of loose stool in box. AMPS was 315, I gave 1.1U and 50ml fluids. Tried him on Fancy Feast which he normally loves, wouldn't even smell it.
So here it is noon, no change and now he appears uncomfortable. I gave .3CC Buprenex, left over from last flare, hope it's good 6 months later. Will do it every 8 hours.
I can take him in for bloodwork to see if his Amylase is high, but symptom-wise it appears almost exactly like progress in January, which began with a puke episode and no eating afterwards then progressed to where he acted ill/uncomfortable. Don't know if Pepcid is necessary yet. I'll give the bup a while to work. Not too worried about his BG at this point.
If anyone wonders if it was the raw food, I doubt it, as it was fresh from frozen.

Sounds like you are doing all that you should be doing. So he hasn't eaten today at all? If so, then that is a little disconcerting but hopefully with the bup he will feel more like it. I don't have any suggestions, I am sorry. I will send some prayers though that this passes quickly. I know you don't need this added onto your plate now too. (((Vicky))) Poor Gandalf.
