Greetings, Well...yesterday the wife and I were off (i.e. I had my back injected with steroids Again and the wife had to drive me home form the doctor's office) and were home. We fed the kids out of the norm (i.e. off of their usually scheduled meals). As a result we think, our Jewelie Girl did not want to eat this morning. Also, she suffers from Empty Stomach Syndrome. If she does not eat at her particular time, she usually pukes up frothy phlegm and bile (that yellow crap from the liver and stored in the gallbladder used in the digestion of food that many have endured when worshipping the porcelain alter after an evening with copious ETOH ingestions...yes I am not a novice at this particular process). Usually after she has puked, she is ready for her meal.
Since we did feed them out of their usual schedule, we thought well lets wait until after she pukes and we'll feed her. That did not happen. She did not want anything to do with food. Further, Jewelie girl had bubbling and gurgling sounds in her stomach or hyperactive belly sounds about the same when she had her bout of pancreatitis last year. Well were not waiting this time. Off to the vet we went. Jewel got a shot of an anti-emetic as well as some pills. The vet does not think it is pancreatitis and believes it is Empty Stomach Syndrome because of the wacky feeding times yesterday. Now, we are to wait an hour and try to give her something to eat.
Gladly, my better half pulled out the canned chicken breast in water just now as I am typing and Jewel ate it without reservation. We will now wait for the dinner hour and give Jewel her regular diet that is, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal...low fat secondary to pancreatitis.
One thing I have noticed...the weather...hot and humid is grossly affecting our kids in EBN land (as I have read in threads). I am hoping that this is not the start of the pancreatitis issue Jewel had last year.
One thing is for sure...Whenever I am down because of my kids, I know I can always post my thoughts, concerns, etc. here on EBN land that has many ears and a plethora of experience that is shared. And when I need a laugh, I can always reach out to "The Funny Bone" for some cheering up.
We'll see how Jewel does in the next twenty-four hours. Sorry girl...no treats even though they are low fat.
