Hi All! Ming Jou spent an uneventful evening and night with me. We went to the vet's this morning and proceeded w/barium. The x-rays showed the barium passing through her GIT in reasonable time. Thankfully they found no evidence of an obstruction or GIT foreign body. They are, however, a little concerned about one dilated area but feel that this is a normal colon. So, what happened? Good question. It could be inflammatory bowel disease, possibly a dietary, viral, bacterial or metabolic probleme. If she goes downhill they will do blood work. She is home w/me now. I am supposed to offer her her food (mix of Totally Ferret, Sheppard & Green, 8 in 1 Ultimate). I can also give her laxatone, nutrical, duck soup, Bob C's chicken gravy, her salmon and herring treats - basically anything she can properly digest. They prescribed Amocxicillan 0.4 ml orally twice a day. Ming Jou has had this b4 and really likes it. They also administered another 35ml of sub-q right b4 we came home. Thank you everyone for the emails and phone calls of advice and support. It is much appreciated. Take care, Lynn and Ming Jou. [Posted in FML issue 2999]
