Well….the new drug doesn’t seem to be working. I had high hopes last night as I fed her late and added some of the cholestyramine powder. It is made for humans and comes in “delicious” orange flavor. I just mixed part of a packet with her food. For the first night in years she didn’t go out at all through the night. This morning she had splats but nothing severe. As the day wore on though it seemed she got worse. I don’t know if it is the combination of all the drugs or that this particular one she is reacting to. She had liquid diarrhea most of the day, including in the house and into my yard shoes……
So tonight I just gave her a little food, soaked with some of the cholestyramine. So far so good. Maybe it is too much food. Maybe the drug combo…maybe maybe maybe. It is frustrating and heartbreaking when no one can figure out what can help this dog. In the meantime I look at her emaciated skinny body and wonder how much longer she can go on.
sigh.
