Bella may have a blockage:( Update: 4/8/11 and 4/15/11
I have been dealing with Bella throwing up since last Wed. She has been on shots, food witheld, special food and is pooping some. I finally called the vet today and she will go in for a barium(?) test in the am. She is her usual happy self other than throwing up:(Does anyone have any experience with this???
4/15/11 Update #2: Bella does not have a blockage or pancreatitis! Bella is still throwing up but not too often.More tests which all came back normal and more meds:(
Poor Bella has been quite the mellow patient but I feel so bad for her. Bella now has her own pharmacy and I actually filled out a med sheet to keep track of all her tummy meds as she has some that tell her brain not to throw up, some to tell her tummy not to throw up,some to coat her tummy and and antibiotic as well as a wormer just in case she has any tummy worms.
Update:
4/8/11 Well Bella spent the day at vet (of coarse Jane had to be out of town due to work) . Originally they took an Xray, then did a barium one while DH waited over 90 mn. the vet called and was thinking they would have to do surgery but they were waiting for her food to go through. Took more tests and at that point neither of the 2 vets could not see any blockage and the barium was going through her system. I couldn't pick up Bella and so I called my girlfriend to go get her for me as I just couldn't leave her there:) Bella is on pepcid and zofran for her tummy plus the i/d prescription diet. We're keeping our fingers/paws crossed. PS...Bella was the perfect patient through all of this!!!!!!!!

Then we'd really need a photo! We can get John to make that contraption fitting a camcorder to a corgi's head. haha. Lately, I fall all the time. I don't get it. I've tripped over RR countless times. Sometimes my shoe sticks to the rug and I go flying. Luckily, I haven't done any real damage, yet.

Talking about John I was trying to get a quad conjoined pic of my corgis but I never have the camera right ready and when they hear it turn on they of coarse have to MOVE:(

Well keep trying. That would be hilarious. I wish Lucy would let RR lie next to her. He would be so happy.

Thanks Carry! She's still on special food but I just added about 8 kibbles of her regular food tonight and I'm hoping that she can start eating again soon!

Does anyone have experience with the i/d dry food? I got some but won't use till next week sometime.

Hi Jane, mix the new i/d with your old food gradually over a 7-day period. No need to supplement or treat, it is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. Split the recommended daily amount into smaller portions and feed throughout the day. Keep fresh water available at all times.
