Tenchi Update #3
« on: August 24, 2006, 12:02:50 pm »
As per a friend of Moni's:

Tenchi had his bloodwork today and it isn't good.  His already low protien
levels are now in the basement.  He is still bleeding internally, and he has
lost 3 pounds since Saturady (His normally 165 pounds is down to 143).  He
has only pooped twice since he came home, one of those was tiny, Moni said
about the size of a Rock, and the latest one was noraml sized but all black.
 They checked him for bowel obstruction, but that came back clear.

The vet said it could be rat poison, but they don't use anything either at
the house or at the farm, so that means it would be intentional which we
don't even want to think about.  Besides, with 5 other dogs at the house,
one of them would have some symptoms as well.  He isn't allowed to do
anything other than go out to go potty (And that's only 3 times a day).  He
goes back on Sunday for more bloodwork, sooner if he gets worse.
Hugs,
Jaime

Oh, I'm so sorry!  I'm sure she must be crazy with anxiety!  Poor Moni!  Poor Tenchi!  I just don't want to think it was an intentional poisoning!!!

Is there any chance that Tenchi had just had immunizations?  My girl Newf, Lucille, got the same thing after her immunizations:  that's why Cowboy and Chester are getting titred!!!

Thanks all for still keeping the Tenchimoose in your thoughts.  This is our small update with pictures this AM.  Tenchi is the same, sleeping mostly, hating his meds but loving his canned food.  (How many of you remember how much he used to HATE mushy canned food???  So this is good that he is actually eating, nevermind enjoying, this canned stuff)  The vet said that I could attempt rice and chicken with him, but he won't even touch the rice, period.  So we're letting the big guy enjoy his "treats" until he gets all better.

Tenchi gets a couple spoonfuls after his meds, so I grabbed some shots of him today while Tori gave him his rewards.  I tried to get some video of it, but my camera is on its deathbed and it kept pixalating(sp?).  Guess stills will have to do.
 

GULP!!

I agree with Julie:  Tenchi is on the road to recovery!  He looks good:  alert, bright eyes and waiting ever so patiently for that next scoop!!

Thanks for the update!  Keep the good news coming!!
