The vomiting stopped after the AM pill barf on Tuesday morning, thanks to the shots of Cerenia and Metoclopramide. The only problem with the Metoclopramide is it gives Ra the most nasty pure liquid diarrhea. :/ We were originally at 3x daily for that drug, but Dr. Lehal cut it down to 2x daily, and finally down to 1x daily. So far, so good with the low dose. I made an executive decision to take him completely off the Metoclopramide this morning--if he barfs, then he goes back on it, simple as that. We simply cannot have him liquid pooping every damned time he does a # 2. It's got to be hard on his system, and I know he *hates* me following him around to wipe the remnants off his (likely) sore ass once he's done if I catch him in the box dropping a watery deuce.
Because of the "liquipoo" situation, Dr. Lehal suggested we start Ra on a kitty probiotic, which we were able to pick up at PetSmart. It's a once weekly thing, though we gave him his weekly dose and a small amount more yesterday in hopes of calming his stomach. Don't know if we should've done that, but it was a mutually made executive decision, so we'll see what happens. The worst that could happen would be that his bowel movements would go the opposite direction and he'd get a bit constipated, but hey--we've got the Lactulose for that if that comes to (not) pass.
So, yeah. I think we're on the right track. Please keep your fingers crossed and keep on sending that oh-so-necessary healing energy! :)
