Firstly I want to say thanks for the responses I got from the previous update.
The blood work didn't show anything which is a good thing I suppose. On the other hand we still don't know what is causing his misery.
He woke up with more energy this morning but that dwindled by this evening.
I'm sorry for getting too descriptive but I hope you understand.
His diarrhea has turned very yellow and very watery with chunks of undigested chicken in it. YUCK! Sorry....
He put him on Imodium AD just till Saturday evening.
He mentioned something about some kind of pancreatic insufficiency. The test is hugely expensive for us. I hope and pray he doesn't need it.
In the previous update post someone asked if I was adding his food back slowly. Yes, I do it very slowly. I figured he needs even more time to get used to the change.
He did say his sugar was very slightly elevated but he said that is probably because of him being on steroids about 6 weeks ago and the stress of being at the vets office. I sure hope he's not going to be a diabetic. I had to send my little Jen Jen to the Rainbow Bridge last October. She was a rescue 3 week old puppy with her mommy who was out in the cold in January. She became diabetic and eventually went blind. She had bouts of pancreatitis too. I miss my little Jen Jen.
And we just lost our rescue Cockatiel Jo Jo about 2 months ago. I don't want to lose another baby again.
Please continue to pray for Gizzy and us as his parents. My heart breaks to see him or ANY animal suffer.
