Sunny D has a Stomach Tube

[ladyjane]

Sunny D's morning update was a good one! He is up and around the ICU and actually had a normal BM this morning!! That is major...that poor thing had not had a BM in over a week!
They are going to slowly wean him from the IV fluids to be sure that his kidneys don't go off again. And, they are starting his new diet that was formulated by the vet nutritionist for his feeding tube.
His BUN and Creatinine are improviing!

I am sure he does...but even if he does not, I do! And, they were very happy at GCVS, too.

Oh, that's so kind of you to say. Honestly, I just hope that we all get to be together again one day with our beloved pups. A forever with little furballs would be so wonderful.

I am so happy to hear Sunny D is improving. May you and all your pups health continue to improve. I have been thinking of canceling the insurance on my 3 due to trying to cut some costs but after hearing of your recent experience I am going to keep it. Prayers for you all.

I am very happy to hear Sunny D's good report. Praying he will continue to recuperate nicely and that he will be back home with you soon.

So happy that you got some good news on Sunny D! Glad to hear he is up and about.

Sunny D looked so much better today. I know he is so much happier without that tube in his nose! Before he was lip smacking a lot and the internist thought it might be petit mal seizures...but I told him it was stress and sure enough it is down to a dull roar. I was with him for an hour today and he only did it once when I had to clean his nose a bit. He will be there for the weekend and perhaps be discharged on Monday. They are weaning him off the IV fluids and gradually increasing his tube feedings.

I swear that place is just so amazing! I am so lucky to be in this area with such wonderful vets.

That's great.

Oh, Patti, DO keep it!! If I told you how much I have dropped in two weeks, you would not believe. Heck, *I* don't believe it...I think I am simply in shock.

Good report on Sunny D and you sound encouraged about him or is it just wishful thinking on my part. But it sounds hopeful to me so am keeping praying.

I am definitely encouraged. He is doing well. The only problem that can be foreseen is the renal failure....but no one knows how long before that will be to a point of no return. I have had many renal failure pups over the years and they each were different. Some lasted only a short time...some years.

This is great news to hear that Sunny continues to improve. Continuing to pray that he, and your other sick pups, get better soon. Sending hugs and love to all....
