Hi all I just wanted to update everyone on Lucy goosey. On April 18 the vet pit her on the steroid shot to see how she responds and she started to get her appetite back and started acting like my Lucy again. She still vomited but only when her belly was gurgling and rumbling. Today 5/11/14 I took her back for her follow up and the vet prescribed predNisolone I think that's what its called I don't have it in front of me. It is to be administered for 30 days 2 times a day at 1/2 mil each. He also said he believes the gurgling and the discomfort she is experiencing is being caused byhelicobacter bacteria in her stomache. He is having a medication compounded for us at a pharmacy mad EOF antacid and 2 antibiotics which I will get this week. He hopes this will put the bacteria into a remission and stop or control the vomiting. He said to be 100% it is thst bacteria he would have to do an endoscopy but my wife doesn't want to do that because Lucy has very bad side effects to the sedatives. She is basically limp and practically dead for 4 or so days after having sedatives . she also gained a little more than half a pound which he was very happy with since April 18th..
