Jabu still vomiting

Hi Tony, thanks for getting back to me. I really do appreciate it. A lot.

I read both your articles and will now look for a butcher that might supply me with some green tribe.

Went back to the vet with Jabu yesterday, as he continued to vomit. She gave him a Stemetil injection and put him on another drip.

The reason why she has not given him SubQ fluids is because he does not have enough loose skin. Also he is quite a big boy(he was 30kg last week - now 28.5kg), so he would need a lot of it to actually make a difference.

After the injection, he managed to keep down supper. I gave him the  metaclopramide again, but he vomited 3 times today, so that is obviously not working.

My vet prescribed Ondansetron. Our pharmacy only had 4mg and not the 8mg, so they gave me 12 pills to try first. I plan to give him that tonight and tomorrow, to see if there's any difference.

He's had the Mirtzapine (2 tablets) last weekend, but I could not see any difference in his vomiting.

We took the phosphate binder away for the weekend, to see if that might not be the problem. So far, I doubt it very much, as I've seen no change.

I went to a veterinary referral clinic to have his blood pressure measured. It is normal 134mmHg systolic cuff 5 RF. He is only mildly anaemic. (37-55)

Tonight he's refusing to eat. I pretty much think it is as your article says - he now associates the food with feeling bad.

Do you have any other suggestions as to feeding him. I'm going to get him some Royal Canine on Sunday (no one stocks it in our town, so needed to find a lift for it) and maybe that will make a small difference?

Do you think I should try the Mirtzapine again. My vet is a little concerned that it is not fit for long term use?

Thanks again.

Regards

Nici
