I had my follow up vet visit last week and I lost another pound within 2 weeks of my last visit- I'm now down to 33 lbs. The vet advised Momma and Daddy that the weight loss could be attributed to the Prednisone medication so instead of taking that 2x a day, I would only need to take it once a day for a week, then every other day (just like the Azathioprine). I'm still taking antacids to help ease my stomach. The vet also wanted to slowly add rabbit and potato kibble to my diet to help add calories and weight to my now very skinny frame. The vet also said that if I continued to lose weight that she would recommend a specialist for us to visit so they could take a look at me to see if they could find anything different.
A week into my new diet routine, I got sick again. Momma and Daddy are very sad and heartbroken since I was doing so well and had not thrown up since last December. The vet asked Momma and Daddy to stop the new kibble, remain on the bland diet kibble with just a little bit of the rabbit and potato wet food, prescribed an anti-nausea medication for me, and would let us know when she got in touch with a specialist.
The vet called us a few days ago and she made an appointment for me up at Tufts New England Veterinary Medical Center in North Grafton, MA for today.
Please say a prayer and wish me luck in the hopes that the staff at Tufts can figure out what's going on with me so they can help me get better.
p.s. We haven't been on the computer much due to what's happening with me but I want to thank all my friends for the rosettes I've received. Momma told me about them and it makes me smile. =)
