Finally got in touch with Dr L. followed by VCA internal medicine earlier this afternoon. Turns out we've not quite been feeding Ra enough via syringe as we should be--Dr. L wants to see at least a full can and we'd been feeding 2/3 to 3/4 of a can each day over the weekend. Whoops. At least Ra's been eating some kibble on his own to offset what we've not been giving him via syringe so I don't feel terribly mortified, just slightly mortified. :/ As if we could know without counsel from a vet how much Ra needed to be fed via syringe, right? So I shouldn't be so hard on myself, dammit, but I feel bad... :/ We're also supposed to keep an eye on his weight closely, so we'll be pulling out the good ol' postal scale later to weigh him to see if he's inevitably lost more weight...
Ra has a follow-up appointment and possibly lab work tomorrow with Dr. L at 0900 tomorrow. This is good enough for VCA internal medicine, at least according to Sandy the tech, so it's looking like we won't have to make the trek all the way out to Aurora, too, after all...All they want are all of Dr. L's observation notes and any labs he does for their records so Dr. M over at VCA internal medicine can go over everything and advise accordingly. At least, so far, VCA agrees with the current treatment regimen Dr. L has formulated for Ra over the weekend with us. I was dreading a lecture about taking Ra off the strict hypoallergenic diet, but it didn't happen--they just want to see Ra eating ANYTHING, too, so...yeah...
Speaking of feeding Ra, it's time to give him some more kibble...Wish me luck!!
