Lenny is 5 and had a biopsy done 4 weeks ago to confirm IBD. No suprise, he=
has it. The vet also found a right adrenal tumor and was successful in rem=
oving it completely. His colon was in the worst condition, paralyzed from b=
acteria as the vet says. His recovery was rough, he vomitted his meds and f=
ood at the hospital but finally came home 3 days after surgery. I don't re=
member the name of the colon bacteria but once the biopsy results came back=
we changed his meds to include CEFA DROPS. The problem now is he has devel=
oped a growth on the outside of his intestines, about the size of a quarter=
. He is also dry heaving not really throwing up anything. Vet put him on p=
red .75cc 2x's a day. 2 days later back to the vet for a recheck and the gr=
owth had gotten smaller. Good news because we didn't want to go thru surger=
y again. He is eating up a storm and starting to play since the pred. Afte=
r the dry heaving spell he takes a nap, eats then plays as normal. All sto=
ol is normal also. Vets feel it could be a reaction the the stitches and a=
re not to concerned as long as he is eating and gaining weight. They feel =
the IBD and the tumor could be upsetting his stomach. What could be causin=
g this vomitting, it is now happening just about once a day. His behavior i=
s back to normal and he hasn't look this good in months. Any advice or opio=
ns would be appreciated. =
Thanks
