the bleeding from his mouth, Dr. Schiff discovered, was being caused by the Reglan, so we stopped giving him that and started on something else. Also, he had stopped absorbing anything that we gave him orally (we think because of the blood seeping into his stomach) so the vet gave us shots that we have to do - ugh - that is hard. meanwhile, he looks better, he's a bit livlier, and we're on a four hour feeding schedule (as opposed to two) so we're all getting more sleep. -- beckers (becki kain) "words are just dust in deserts of sound." eldritch [Posted in FML issue 1120]
