so every now and then i will post threads about shebas vomiting. i decided just to make 1 thread for now on.
it was believed that she may have ibd. i started her on venison diet. from time to time she also gets constipated but the main problem was vomiting. last year she tried z/d, didnt work and then fiber response, worked a little. and then i tried a venison diet, it worked. in december she had 2 major constipation episodes. her vet recommended to take her to see a specialist since obviously theres a gi problem. that appt was on monday. they did an ultrasound, nothing showed that would confirm ibd. what did show was that she was full with poop. vet said possibly has megacolon. i had already started her on miralax in december, 1/4tsp daily. vet increased it to 3x daily. now i started thinking back on her notes ive been keeping on the days she throws up and the changes ive made. i saw she did a little better on fiber food. and when i started her on venison, it was just a week later when i started her on miralax. so now im thinking maybe its the miralax thats also helping the vomiting and that its constipation the issue here and not ibd. maybe venison is playing no part in this. maybe the fiber food worked a little cause it wasnt enough, maybe if i put her on that again WITH miralax. shes not pooping as much as i would like considering the amount she has inside of her (vet showed me the ultrasound image) vet said she will email me by today, hasnt yet. but in the meantime, im asking for opinions, should i go back on fiber food?
