Bugsy Update - Results are back from the lab!

Bugsy Update - Results are back from the lab! 12/14/2010

Hello Furriends,
Meowmy here!
Ok, so the results are finally back back from the lab, and they are great!
Soooo....
IBS is either non existing or too mild and he doesn't require steroids...
B-12 levels normal;
No pancreatitis;
Folates are high, indicating the culprit: Clavamox killed the microflora in his gut, which caused an overgrowth of bad bacteria resulting on inflammation from which he is having a hard time recouping.
Treatment: Metronidazole to reduce inflammation, fiber to build bulk and slow down his intestinal tract, and probiotics to rebuild his intestinal flora. Basically, just continue with what we are already doing!

**NOTHING SERIOUS, THANK GOD!!!**

On the fecal exam, no giardia, no T.Foetus, no parasites...
Darn clavamox!! I am sooooooo relieved!!!!!!
Now it is just a matter of time and patience, but my boy is going to be just fine YEY!!!!!!!
I was literally shaking for about half an hour after I hung up the phone with the vet... My heart was pounding, I just couldn't contain myself... I have been so worried for so long... Receiving these news was simply the best thing that could ever happen...
I know it can take a while for his body to come back to normal, but now at least I know he is going to be OK... I know he is going to be OK! HE IS GOING TO BE OK!

::Happy Dance, Happy Dance:: We are all SO HAPPY that Bugsy is going to be OK. We may not comment often, but you are all in our thoughts and purrs every day.

And yes, we do have a new member of our cat family. Chattie was dumped by our mailbox, and found her way the 1/2 mile to the house. She is a lovely girl, though Meepsie says she is The Unnessessary Cat!!
