Hi Everyone.. I’m confused all over again. Hoping someone can help! Sebastian and Oliver are brothers. I lost Sebastian two years ago to IBD/lymphoma. I wish his regular vet would have been more aggressive for me to get an ultrasound done because I would’ve caught it much earlier. His main symptom was diarrhea and it was never controlled. he was 12.
Now Oliver is 14, no health issues, perfect bloodwork and only sick one because he ate something outside. Was vomiting for a few days, wouldn’t eat and started eating after two days. That was about 6 years ago.
He vomits every few months,could be six months.. but not much at all.
Two weeks ago he vomited. He wouldn’t eat for two days but slowly started eating and back to normal. He’s also a very good drinker.
a week ago, Wednesday night, he vomits again. I took him to the ER On Friday night. Side note, both times he vomited, I noted he was digging in a plant I recently reported, nothing poisonous but the potting soil was opened for a year, sitting in a hallway before I used it. That’s why I thought he threw up.
the ER advised me of the bloodwork and X-rays but I saidcerenia and I’ll monitor him. He was acting completely normal except he refused to eat.
He lost a little over a pound but I take him to my boyfriends house every weekend and he may be more active or eat less, just a possibility.
by Sunday he was barely eating so back to the ER, bloodwork, urine, X-RAY, US. Bloodwork still perfect. He’s acting normal. X-ray shows gas in his intestines.( I have the report but don’t understand it)US shows suspected IBD/Lymphoma.
so I start prednisolone 3mgs/ml- liquid 2 mgs a day. Started on Monday. Both nights he’s thrown up and now his poop is soft and a little watery. He didn’t have these symptoms before the prednisolone. Could the dose be too high? I also have an appointment with an oncologist on Tuesday. I tried togive as much background as I could. Sorry for the long post.. can any help guide me?
