Grizzy not eating again - two days now, not getting back into the every other day pattern. He even passed on steak trimmings, well initially - he ate it after I left it with him. I guess back to the vet - might need exploratory surgery. 

Kelly Flora-Brownell Oh no! I hope he is ok. How old is he now? He can't be even 10 yet, right? The boys and I will be thinking of you!

Jonathan Flora We are going to treat with the intestinal mucosa coating medicine again. Next will be some appetite stimulation and intestinal calming injections. Surgery is still a ways down the line unless he starts passing blood. I have been putting him at 7-8 - was even even 2 yrs in Feb of 2006?

    Kelly Flora-Brownell I think they estimated him to be 2 to 3 years old when we got him. What does the vet think is wrong with that sweet boy?

    Jonathan Flora She doesn't know for sure. His intestines are irritated so the plan is to try to treat his symptoms while competing an antibiotic course of treatment. I am going to try and take him for a walk now - last night he laid down one block from home and would only walk back to the house. The hope is the antibiotics will help and if he starts eating normally things may return to normal in time.
