Comment on Collapsed Trachea – Supportive Care by Alyssa

My 5 lb toy poodle was just diagnosed with a collapsed trachea. The vet gave him medication that he will need to take long term. I am just nervous and wanted to hear about other families that are living with a dog with a collapsed traches. Do they function in daily life okay? What kinds of special treatment should I give him? Has anyone lost a dog due to this? Please give me your feedback, it is very important to me. Thanks so much. Alyssa.

I’m so sorry Madelyn, I too found out way too many things after Alex was already gone. It’s bittersweet for me now to be able to help others with this knowledge. But I couldn’t save my little girl. It’s heartbreaking. You have my sincere condolences. I know exactly how you feel. Please start the new kitten out on a feline appropriate diet. This will really help with health and well being.

Yes, good website – unfortunately I found it too late for my 18 yr old beloved cat who passed away 3 weeks ago. I figure now he had IBD – his bloodwork in June was fine but he did through up quite a bit.

We got a kitten in July and maybe he wasn’t eating enough or drinking enough even though I was home with them for the first 2 weeks they were together. He died 8-22 with quite a bit of buildup of fluid in his intestines.

The ER vet said he had hepatitis or fatty liver disease.

I feel so bad thinking that maybe the kitten stressed him out of eating.

Thanks for listening.

Comment on Why do dogs eat poop? by tyndallhouse

tyndallhouse — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 17:29:07 +0000

My rescue dog, Darby is Blue Heeler/Husky and started eating one of my roommate’s dogs poop about a year ago. Lola contracted Valley Fever at that time and I was told that a dog will eat another’s poop if they know that dog is “sick”. We have another dog in the house who is not sick and she doesn’t bother with that dog’s poop at all. In hindsight, prior to eating Lola’s poop, on occasion she would eat an older dog’s poop (since expired) who was “sick” (since expired). Do you think there’s anything to this? My trainer has me walking Darby around the yard on a leash and using the “Leave it” command when we get to the poop piles. This teaches Darby that I am in charge of the yard/poop and she is not. It is working and she is relieved of the stress of ‘taking care’ of Lola.

Valerie I haven’t heard anything from you. Please write to me so I can help you with this! I’m more than happy to talk at great lengths with you and make some suggestions but it’s easier to go back and forth on this board. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE email me at contact@ibdkitties.net.

The same goes for anyone here that needs any help or just needs to talk.

Hi Valerie, I’m so very sorry this is happening to your Princess. I will be more than happy to talk with you and make some suggestions. It would be better if you contacted me through the website, that way we can get into more details: contact@ibdkitties.net. Please do so asap and I’ll be looking for your email. Something is very wrong here and as far as the doc suggesting IBD and maybe cancer, well he really has the experience on what her symptoms are. I’m not saying he’s right and I’m sure he said he only suspects it. But I do HIGHLY suggest a full blood panel and please do that ASAP. I also suggest an ultrasound instead of a GI scope. An ultrasound is just like with a person where they rub the belly with the little warm thing. It can show everything much better than the x-rays. But anytime there is this much vomiting, blood, diarrhea, and PAIN, you need to get the full blood work up right now especially to see if there’s anything going on with the liver. Is this vet the ER vet or the regular vet? PLEASE contact me at that address and let’s get her some help pronto.

Again, I’m so sorry you’re going through this sweetie
