If and when Bentley will eat canned food it has to be pâté he won't touch chunky canned food. I am happy to report that he is doing very well. He eats mostly dry duck/pea and Fromm grain free that unfortunately has several meat sources but he likes it. I still give him steak and roast beef...

Bentley is better again today. The fluids really helped. I also have him cerenia, Pepcid and a little cypro yesterday afternoon. I will continue with fluids every other day for support and maybe the meds too. I went back to giving 5 mg prednilisone orally and 5 mg transdermally because dr...

Actually, he is not doing well again. He was very lethargic yesterday and is the same today. Not eating well again and he was trembling (pain) while tying to sleep. I will give him fluids as soon as my husband gets home, he hasn't had them since Monday. I did get some pepcid today and will...

Bentley is inside only. I just saw that the fecal was always recommended as part of the diagnostic process. No diarrhea. I will check with the vet. I did divide the canned food and put it in small containers that I can freeze. I will try it again and see if he turns his nose up at it. He...

Yes, Bentley took a turn for the better on Monday, exactly one week after his first chlorambucil dose. He is more energetic and I've gotten him to eat some canned food two mornings in a row. He will only eat it if its a freshly opened can, once refrigerated, he won't eat it. He still will...

Bentley wasn't anemic until after his 8/15 endoscopy and non stop diarrhea after the enema on the same day. Probably lost blood with both . His HCT 11days after endo was 28. His ultrasound was on 8/14 showing nothing amiss.

Bentley had an ultrasound and and endoscopy and there was no mention of ulcers in his stomach or small intestines. His stool darker, formed but kind of sticky when you cut it, not dry like my other cat. Vet did prescribe both anti nausea (cerenia) and appetite stimulant ( cypro) together. I...

No, I don't refrigerate the bag. Yes, his stool is rather dark. He has issues (gastritis) in his stomach and problems in his small intestines. Vet did not do a colonoscopy so I don't know about that part of his digestive system. I'm thinking his hematocrit was 28 after the endo due to the...

It would seem that the expiration date would apply to an unopened bag (shelf life). My question is different, the bag was opened (tubing placed) and has been that way for two weeks. Just wasn't sure if that was a problem. I would guess not because for someone who only gives fluids 2-3 times a...

I have a 10 ml bag of fluids that I brought home from the vet on 8/19. I've given Bentley fluids several times and I still have 5 ml left in the bag. Is there a time limit on how long the fluids are safe to use once rhe bag has been prepared dor use? Just don't want to cause any further...

Yes I have cerenia but was told to only give it for 4 days.

I've decided to go back to the transdermal prednilisone because I read that the pills can cause GI symptoms and that is not what he needs! He looks uncomfortable now, nauseous, swallowing more than normal, refused chicken breast for now. I guess the food he ate irritated his tummy. Such a...

He's doing better today. Since he was up and down all night i figured he'd be sacked out all day but he's up and around. I may be making a mistake because I am not limiting his food to a hypoallergenic diet. I bought a can of Fromm grain free salmon and tuna pâté and he at a couple of...

Apparently the inflammation causes pain. The biopsy results from his stomach showed: minimal multifocal lymphoplasmacytic gastritis, with luminal ingesta. I guess as soon as food hits his tummy he is uncomfortable and that is why he trembles after eating. He associates food with pain...

I wonder if there is anything that would make his tummy feel better. I know it causes him pain to eat.
