Crianza's trials

[texaslawchick]

I have a little time now to focus, so I can write this all out. Most of you who follow me on facebook know that Crianza has gotten very sick over the last few weeks, and we don't know what's wrong. I just picked her up from the vet, and she's not particularly happy with life right now, but the vet thought she'd be more comfortable and less

I'll be sending good puppy energy...I know that you are scared spitless. Have you tried Gerbers strained turkey as far as food goes? Sometimes they will eat that...maybe mixed with a tiny bit of chicken stock and rice. Sometimes rice alone moistened with chicken broth.

Gentle hugs to you both.

I can try that. I need to get more chicken stock anyways.

Thanks!

Lots of vibes and healing energy heading her way -- and lots of vibes and your and g's way, too.

I don't know how into energy stuff you are; I'm getting an impression of inflammation in her gut, like she's reacting to something she's eating and it's setting off a vicious cycle of nausea -> doesn't want to eat/drink anything because she's nauseated -> dehydration -> more nausea.

I can't get a lock on what it is, but I'm wondering if she might have developed a food sensitivity; if she's having an autoimmune reaction, though, I don't know if that would show up on tests.

I don't know if this is something you'd want to check into, but celiac type of gluten reactions can cause nausea, vomiting, diahrrea, constipation, gut inflammation, and pain, and it can take several days of being gluten-free for the worst fo the symptoms to pass. (But it could be anything, that's just the first thing that popped into my head,probably because I have celiac disease.)

I think you're right about what's going on with her. We just need to get her out of that cycle and back into health.

I'll talk about the slippery elm with the vet.

Thanks so much!

You're very welcome

My best wishes to your poor puppy--I know it must be so frustrating not to really know how to make her better yet.

We've got the candle lit for her. Our little fur-babies are our kids and I know how much she is loved.
