Border Collie Throwing Up
Hello all ... I'm a newbie and am hoping someone can give me some
advice. This is going to be a bit long, so I apologize in advance but I want to give an accurate picture of what's going on. In January, I adopted a female Border Collie named Mickey from the animal shelter. At that time, I also had Digby, a 12-year-old Doberman. Mickey is about a year old now. When I first adopted her, she was having throw-ups, and after several visits to the vet was finally diagnosed with hookworms. He said hookworms are not always detectable but have to be at a certain point of gestation to show up on the stool tests. With Panacur, things got put right quickly. A couple months went by, and more throwing up started. After several more visits to the vet and more tests, he diagnosed Mickey as suffering from indigestion. He put her on Kaopectate three times a day and Metoclopramide twice a day. Things got better, and after about a month of treatment, I discontinued the meds. About a week ago, Digby died due to a stroke. That same day, Mickey started throwing up again. We went to the vet, and he thinks she might be suffering anxiety over the loss of Digby. Mickey is somewhat off her food and water. The vet increased the dosage on the Metoclopramide and put her back on Kaopectate. We have a follow-up appointment Monday. Just for info, I walk Mickey at least 45 minutes every morning. Yesterday evening I walked her a second time for 45 minutes. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation who could offer advice? I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you! |
