Re: more on Lucy

[Nina]

I'm just catching up with your posts about Lucy.  I was feeling a little better until I got to this one.  Your sweet Lucy is such a delicate flower.  I hate to think of forcing more medications on her and I've got it in my head from somewhere that flagil is an esp harsh med.  Is there any way to assist feed her her regular diet?  What do you have her on now?  Could you blend whatever it is up enough and mix it with water so you could syringe her?  I'm betting she's got diarrhea from the whatever is making her feel lousy, the stress of the vet visit and the change in diet.  I think I'd hold off on any more meds until you see how she responds to the IM.  Trying to keep her stools normal is probably not as important as keeping her system as strong as it can be to battle whatever is causing the fever. You know I feel for you.  This just sucks.  Many prayers for you and Lucy, Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Of course, now Lucy has diarrhea too.  I do not know if it is because I gave her baby food, or because I gave her Lysine (her IBD flaring up) or if it is just the fever doing it. I was going to cut down on her pred because it can be counterproductive to fighting an infection or virus, but now I don't want to because her IBD may be flaring up as well. Should I give her flagyl, which normally helps the IBD, on top of the Clavamox she is on?   Michelle
