Well there still has not been any further vomiting. I took a look at the x-rays and the "thing" appeared to move about an inch with in that 20 minute time span. Probably the plant matter and plastic trash bag bits I saw in the stool a day later is what was showing up. Tage is still not dri...

I know about the gas thing, just yet another reason why I'm doubting this vet...

She took the 2nd urine culture yesterday so hopefully by the end of the day or tomorrow morning she should be able to tell me if anything has grown on it again or not. I have plunty of the chicken and rice to keep him on that until the test results are in if it indeed needs to be sent off to the lab...

The last time he vomited (which was food) I believe was... Monday morning after breakfast I want to say. He has not puked any bile for about 2 weeks now. Since the very day before seeing the vet, up until right now, he has puked twice and it was his food. The green pea's is what makes up the fiber s...

Ok, I just got off the phone with the doctor. She said that she suspects it's 1 of two things and that it was located in his small intestine. 1.) Gas, or gas that might be blocked by something causing it to not move much. 2.) Ileus causing his digestive track to slow down in general. Which from my u...

I just called the doctor and she should be calling me back soon. I will ask her where the "thing" was located and what she thinks it possibly is, and why she's not overly concerned about it. I'm also going to stop in and take a look at it after work. I used to work at a vet so I'm very fam...

As far as converting to another commercial food after the bland diet, what do you think of these ones I have selected out of about 50 brands. As far as hypoallergenic/Limited Ingredient canned foods go. Royal Canin - Rabbit & Peas Hills - z/d Natural Balance - Venison & Green Peas Sensible C...

I am not going to be with holding water from Tage tonight, it also seems cooky to me when she first mentioned it. Since I've gotten home I've been reading through my text books for more information on something I might have missed. If he's going to vomit again, I really don't think it's going to be ...

I fully agree. I received my formal training from Waltham, though many of the vets I have worked with got their training from Hills in addition to Waltham. While I'm personally not in love with any Rx diet, I do know that they sometimes work when nothing else will. The doctor just called me again, a...

Traci: Yes we understand that fully. I personally seem to want to move more slowly then my vet did at first, due to the fact that I know how Tage's digestive system can get upset when changing foods, really no matter how slowly or how little I do at a time (I literally have to hand feed him 2 pieces...
