I got another call from the vet student this morning. Lili threw up her food today. She'd shown some reluctance with eating, and at first we thought maybe it was b/c they were giving her wet food (DH forgot to leave the food I had bagged up for her). But she still seemed averse to the dry food, and then this morning happened.

Of course, when she said she threw up, I immediately thought to ask whether they were giving her pepcid. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier (bad mommy), but at least I thought of it today. They weren't, and I explained that we always gave her a dose 1/2 an hour before the other meds. (I thought that would have been standard in a vet's office, and is probably why I didn't think to ask about it earlier. But now I know better.) So they're going to try that, and I think her food aversion will magically go away Hopefully that will do the trick.

She's continuing to respond to therapy well, but they aren't going to start water therapy until the incision is healed, so she may or may not get it this visit (we'll be going back for a follow-up in Feb.).

Thanks for all the rayz, everyone. Please keep them coming.

Still moving in the right direction!!! I wonder if her tummy problems are because of the pain drugs? I know Alex had that issue after her cancer surgery. A little bit was ok, but longer use eventually did her tummy in. Maxe had the same issue with steroids (prednisone) years ago. that she's ok! Tons more and !!

[lotsadox]

I"m betting the pepcid clears up the tummy problems. But it sounds like other than that, she's making good progress

[LexieLuvr]

Can't believe the vets didn't think about Pepcid! More

Our vet told us Pepcid doesn't help much, yet won't harm. Hmm. So maybe they see it as an unnecessary expense when only a few dogs need it. But which ones? Aye, there's the rub.
