Dog with blood in stool ( Dx Gastrointestinal Pythiosis)(Update Post 108)

More Jingles & AO on the way for your Aussie and his family ~

Sending more Jingles & AO for your Aussie and his family ~

I am so very sorry to hear of your dog’s diagnosis - have you or your vet contacted the University of Florida’s animal hospital yet? They have ongoing research on pythiosis - we’ve been battling it here in Florida since forever. Keeping fingers crossed and sending jingles.

Once more I would like to thank everyone for all the support, jingles and very helpful information.

thatmooody- Yes we are tapping into all known founts of knowledge.

Over the Hill- Thank you for the link to Darwin’s story. I am jingling for him too!

Cat tap- So sorry your Bouv went through all he did, but glad you had another 5 years with him. Thank you for sharing that they can have quality life with SBS.

Zu Zu- Thank you for you compassion, your kind words are a blessing,

((hugs)) laced with extra strength and patience ~[/B]

The lab confirmed the presence of Pythiosis when they re-checked the biopsy sample from the first surgery, (Oct 19). Would have been nice to save 30 days of time and suffering and all that $$$$. :frowning:

But now we know, and we have scheduled him for surgery tomorrow morning.

Jingles for clean margins are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, I will post as soon as I can after surgery.

I am thinking of you and your puppy today.

Jingles for your pup.

Hoping for a good outcome and recovery after the surgery. I know what you are going through. My thoughts are with you.

Surgery is done, they removed the mass. He is resting comfortably thanks to good drugs.

Fingers crossed the anastomosis holds, heals, and does not leak. They said it will take 5 days for the anastomosis to be healed enough that they can say it won’t leak.

Cautiously optimistic that they got all the Pythiosis.

Jingles of comfort and peace for your Thanksgiving weekend ~ ((hugs)) AO

’ Hang in there ’ ((hugs)) for his family ~

  • any chance ( but don’t wish to be intrusive ) you would share his name
    so
    my Jingles & AO could be more specific ?
    will certainly understand if you are not comfortable with that ~

ZuZu, Thank you for all the kind thoughts and healing jingles. He is known to his family and friends as Himself.

He came home this morning, and is snoozing in his bed.

Glad to hear that he is back home and snoozing. Hopefully he will soon be feeling “Himself” again.

Looking in on “Himself” and his family ~ Jingles & AO

Hoping the long holiday weekend was one of rest & recovery ~

Jingles & AO continue ~

healing thoughts to you… hopefully he recovers well!

Himself continues to recover. His appetite is insatiable, and his energy is greatly restored.

Thank You Zu Zu for thinking of us. You thoughts are with us, I know.

My computer (Windows Vista) is now the one that needs life support. I have been burning up the keys trying to find an affordable source for Intraconazole. It’s a medicine Himself should take for three months, but at $700.00 a month, it’s out of our price range.

The vet school warned that the cheap generic does not work, and the name brands Onmel, and Sporanox or the generic by Patriot Pharmasutials are the only choices they recommend.

I am hoping to get some financial assistance from the drug’s manufacturer. Himself has no insurance or income and those are their main criteria for granting assistance .

Try Petraneks … Chicago area … call and ask …

[B]
First off… yes I’m thrilled Himself is recovering and hungry …

*** please
Try Petranek’s Pharmacy … Chicago area, call and speak to pharmacist
