Subject: Toby, need advice please, still sick
Hello again,
Toby is still not eating and grinding his teeth after my many
posts ! I talked to my vet again and am getting very frustrated.
I asked her if we could switch Toby from the flagyl to biaxin and
she told me that biaxin is not effective against helio and would
not put him on this med. I argued with her but to no avail.
We donot know for sure that Toby has this and I thought after a
month of being on the amoxi, flagyl and carafate(only 2 weeks)
that he should be getting a little better, I really think the meds are
stressing him out especially the flagyl. He also, since two days
ago is having runny poops after I give him the meds tooo!
I still donot know what to do. My vet says she will probably have
to do another blood test and a barium x-ray. I have already spent
a lot of money and this will cost alot more. Toby is so sweet and
I just want him to get better though.
Any advice would help, should I get another opinion?
Any good vets in Chicago area?
Sorry so long, thanks Dorie
