Spike died of kidney failure. He was about 8 yrs old. Then Pumkin
started with nausea, lethargy, now appers to be kidney failure. Pumkin
will be 5 in July and has lymphosarcoma, severe nausea, slightly paling,
lethargy, feels warm but no high temp registering, wants to be under
covers even when temps are warm inside, stools normal, extreme
lethargy, urine is weak coffee color, not dehydrated, electrolytes low,
drinks water but doesn't want to eat.
Socks and Peanut with nausea, not wanting to eat but drinking water. Both
5+ yrs old.
I'm sub-qing fluids, cypro for nausea and to increase appetite, carafate,
amoxi, baytril, dexamethasone and force feeding.
No poisonous substances that they can get too.
I make two different liquid nutritional recipes and serve 20+ different
kibble brands and check dates of all when purchased. Spike ate baby food
recipe exclusively, Pumkin ate baby food recipe twice daily kibble on the
side, Peanut ate a bit baby food recipe. Some of the others that are well
ate the baby food recipe. All recipe is refrigerated, warmed and consumed
in 36 hours.
I use non-toxic cleaners...
Our vet doesn't know what is happening. Coincidence or viral/bacterial?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm exhausted more from worry
than from nursing.
