Giovanni's Upset Tummy

 

Hi everybydoy, it's me, Giovanni!

Me has been vomiting fairly often lately, so despite my loud, mournful, pitiful protests, Mama put me in my carrier and took me to the vet last week! It was quite the indignity!

Me couldn't see my primary vet 'cause hers was already all booked up, so mes saw another nice vet in the clinic, and hers worked with my primary vet to come up with a plan for me. 

The nice vet lady felt my belly for any tumors, and hers felt none! That was everybody's main concern since mes had a cancerous subcutaneous mast cell tumor last year and had to have a toe removed from one of my little back feeties. Mama was very relieved that me has no masses in my belly!

So, the nice vet lady took mes to the back so hers could get some blood to send to the lab. After that, they brought me back to Mama, and our primary vet came to say hi to me and Mama and pet me! That was sweet of her to do.

My labs came back and showed my white blood cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils are low. 

So Mama is going to go and get me some yucky medicine called metronidizole tomorrows. 

If that doesn't help mes feel better, the vets think it would be a good idea for mes to go on a hydrolyzed diet and do a food trial. Me doesn't know what that be, but it doesn't sound all that tasty to me..... 

Hopefully the medicine will help me and me won't have to eat that funny-sounding diet!

Me is sure Mama will keep you posted on how me is doing.
