I've had to stop the Atopica as he was vomiting it straight back up everytime in the end. So will phone the specialist again next week for the next step.
The specialist said his endoscopy results pointed to IBD, which I remained sceptical on as his poo has always been normal and the only time he has ever been sick is if his tummy gets empty and then he brings up bile.
However the last few days he has been looking increasingly uncomfortable and is getting bouts of dire rear covered in lots of yellow mucous. he is going more than normal everyday and most are loose with this awful mucous but the odd one is sort of crumbly.
He has also been alternating with looking very pale and then getting some colour back which is suggesting to me he is having another small bleed inside.
He is still on the Zantac, but I have booked him in to see one of the vets at my practice this morning at 11.10. Unfortunatly not my vet as she is not in today.
But I can't leave him like this all over the weekend too.
Lets hope its something easily fixable and doesn't require one of the many many drugs he is allergic too.
He is not good with antibiotics and last time he had them they gave him a injection that lasted 2 weeks as he couldn't tolerate the pills and he bled from the rear end for 2 weeks till it was out of his system.
Please keep your fingers crossed for him this morning.

Thinking of you Milo xx

poor chap he really is having a terrible time and you with him.
do hope things improve soon,as life must be pretty horrible for him at the moment.

Hi Bev

Has your vet tried Azathioprine (Imuran) as a immuno-suppressant as opposed to the cyclosporine(atopica)?  It works in the same way although it takes a bit longer to get into the system if I can remember, I never used cyc on Billy due to the side effects I had read about.

Thanks everyone. He has a bout of colitis so has been given some Sulphersalazine to try and help settle it.
They are making him look a bit green round the gills but so far he has kept them down and not reacted violently to them. So hopefully they will do the trick.
She said ideally we would starve him for 24-48hrs to let his tummy settle, but because of his problems we can't, he must be fed 4 times a day still, so I am just cutting the amount a bit.
He hasn't been for a poo yet this morning so not sure how he is there yet, but hopefully a lot better.

No that hasn't been tried yet.   I am phoning the specialist this coming week as I just missed him when I phoned last week.  I will mention it to him and see what he says.   Thanks.

Sorry about Milo Bev.  I have been having problems with Pip too, you may have read about it.  I feel as if I live in the vets at the moment as I expect you do.

Hope you sort this out.  I am sure you will as you have managed so well so far.  Hugs from me for the little man.
