Thanks for asking, Michelle. Gypsy's been getting Penicillin
injections for 8 days now. She's also been on a product called
Nutrigest, (which includes the L-Glutamine you suggested), Thuja, and
Vita B12 shots. She's also been on a diet of chicken breast or cod
boiled with a seaweed called Kombu and cabbage. Something has helped
because she's a bit more active and her appetite has improved.
Unfortunately, her bowel movements are still dark and liquid. If she's
gained any weight, it's hard to tell, she's still skin and bones. I
called my new vet today and she said I might as well take her off the
Penicillin. I asked her about sulphur, (someone on the list suggested,
I'm sorry I can't remember who), and Arsenicum Album, (suggested by
Patti). The vet thought the Arsenicum would be better if Gypsy suffered with vomiting (which is a symptom of IBD that Gypsy doesn't have). She suggested I try "Calc. Phos" and "Nat Sulph" 3 x daily. These are homeopathics and I'm not suppose to mix them in food. She wants me to grind them up and put them in her mouth between her cheek and teeth. Very funny. So I'm planning yet another trip to the health food store tomorrow. I'll let you know how she responds. How's Lucy? How are you? Did you get that link Bonnie sent a while ago about caregiver syndrome and the extreme loss they feel when their loved one crosses?
