Talked to Julie at VCA and she was kind enough to break down what's going on. Basically Lars has too much bacterial flora in his intestinal tract, for as now unknown reasons, which caused his serum folate levels to elevate on the one test. It's likely to be controlled with daily Lactulose, Benefiber, and probiotics. Found out during the call that I'm to give Lars the probiotics daily vs. once a week, so he got a second serving of wet food with the probiotics mixed in after the phone call.
He's been lethargic all day save for when he thinks he might be fed something and he hasn't downloaded yet today or since yesterday morning around 1145. Called VCA back and talked to Cindy about that--she's going to let Dr. M know and if need be get back to me with further instructions. Sigh. He's got me stressed out, he does...
Basically we're to do the probiotics, the Benefiber, the Lactulose, and the Miratezipine regimen for the next week. Little to no change and it's the scope for Lars...So send all good well-wishes our way if you would...
I think he's going to be headed for the scope/biopsies. I just don't currently see him improving enough for them to say he's enough out of the woods to forego that procedure...Sigh... :(
My poor, sweet boy... :(
