So I think the vet is, to be honest, not quite sure what?s going on now with tango and his digestion problems which, given how the pancreatitis can flare up for no apparent reason, is not altogether a surprise!
She Checked his tummy and said there was no real discomfort so that was good and he?s eating a combination of Purina and chappie again (with a bit of bribery) - it?s just his runny rear end that?s still a disappointment. He can spot/smell canigest paste or similar if I put that in the food and avoids it as I thought that may help but no chance! I?m just starting to put fortiflora in his food, which he seems to accept, to see if that might do the trick.
Regarding the steroids, apparently I shouldn?t have stopped them completely suddenly so we?re going back onto a low dose for a couple of weeks, see what happens and then decide whether to continue or phase them out.
In himself though he?s not too bad for an old boy so let?s see what the next few weeks bring. I think these ups and downs are just going to become more frequent and something we have to accept. Come to think of it, that actually sounds just like what my gp says to me too?.😂
