Thanks Jean! I hope your back is feeling better. Penny and I both know what back pain is like, no fun!
I really had to push for the Tylan so we will see (the vet seemed to think my internet research was excessive and was shocked I knew what Tylan powder and EPI were). Right now isn't the time to be vet shopping since there is such a shortage so I think we may be stuck with them for awhile. They were who figured out her spinal issue and did an amazing job managing that so part of me doesn't want to switch either. I don't have a source for raw near me that will sell me pancreas (I have called a few but I will keep searching) so I am going to wait it out and see if she is respondent to the meds and other stuff and if we still don't have success test and proceed from there.
I am a big believer in only changing one thing at a time so we can see what actually has an impact so we will do that. She started the two powders on her food and the change in her anxiety medication last night and so far today so good. I will keep with that for a week or two and see how we are doing. She slept better last night than she has in WEEKS! I actually checked to make sure she was still alive a few times because I am used to her moving around so frequently. I'm hoping that is a sign her stomach is settling and she is more comfortable. My dad had to run over this morning because I realized I had left her probiotics on the counter and they are refrigerator and he said she was happy and didn't seem to have any effects from the meds while I was at work. I am still waiting for bloodwork results (hoping there will be no major red flags there!) they said 24 hours or so and we are passed that so I am assuming no news is good news at this point since places are starting to close for the weekend!
I will keep everyone updated!
