I just started Cynder on Metocloprimide...and so far, it seems to be helping. If it continues to do what I think it is doing, I think we've finally found a routine that will work for us to keep her from feeling nauseous and regurging.
Right now we are at 3/4 can twice daily, with Metocloprimide three times a day, Famotidine twice daily, and Sucralfate when I can remember and have time to give it to her before/after meals. Since starting this routine yesterday, we haven't had any issues. *knock on wood*
Just ordered some high calorie supplements, and they should be here by next week. I'm currently spiking both of her feedings with a tablespoon or so of Nutrical (so, about an extra 60 calories per meal) to make up for the extra 1/3-1/2 can I'm not feeding her due to regurge issues. When my supplement gets here, I'll be mixing in that with one or both feedings instead, and she'll get some Nutrical smeared on the inside of a hollow bone when she's crated to a.) give her a reward for going in the crate and b.) provide a higher calorie snack. I also ordered some Nutrical chewables, as she tolerates small chewable treats fairly well and then when I treat her, it has some oomph behind it and will mean something.
Considering Sunday I was almost in tears because she couldn't keep any food down, was extremely nauseous, regurgitated even when I was holding her up vertically, and aspirated when she regurgigated food at 3am after having eaten five hours before...I think we're starting to look up. *crosses fingers*
She is turning into the most expensive, time consuming dog ever. But she's worth it.
Now I just hope that I started her on antibiotics soon enough after she aspirated to avoid any kind of pneumonia setting in...so far so good, but I'm super paranoid.
