They stuck a q-tip up his butt for the sample. LOL, no snow here so I don't need to worry about that! I don't believe they looked for parasites since it was vomit problem and not diarrhea. The blood work show elevated enzymes that normally point to pancreatitis, but they weren't high enough to make that a sure thing. If he were to continue to have problems they would have to diagnose pancreatitis with an ultrasound. He hasn't vomited since last night, they have been giving him small amounts of bland food and water throughout the day - so far nothing. They are sending him home with the catheter in place incase the vomiting starts up again. If all food stays down he will have the catheter removed tomorrow morning. They didn't want to give him medication that would increase mmotility too much for fear of intestine rupture. Metronidizol was given to my boxer, it helps irritated bowels to relax and stools to firm up. The diagnosis is still unknown, but as long as things are moving through and there is no vomiting that is a good sign. I think he ate something that did not digest well and is causing intestinal upset as it moves along. I just hope he can pass it on his own.
