He is still pouring out watery diarrhoea, and he needs to stay on iIV fluids to replace his losses as a lot, even though he has finally started to drink, it is not enough to replace his losses.
He has continued to eat little at a time, but being given food frequently to keepn his gut going, so the feeding tube is still absent, which is good as Beau was apparently distressed with it anyway!
Bloods stable – they monitor his electrolytes regularly because of the diarrhoea and iv fluids.
The vet considered Addisons Disease, but they don’t think this fits clinically or with respect to his bloods although it was considered.
Beau’s foster family visited him again yesterday afternoon. Here’s their update
Beau’s eyes look brighter, but he is still really uncomfortable.
Beau is still suffering with copious amounts of watery diarrhoea, so much so that to stop the bottom irritation/skin from it, he has had a catheter inserted into his anus! Really not pleasant for the little lad, but hopefully it will help with the soreness. The tube is clear, what you can see in the photos is what he is passing.
He is still being fed some chicken on a frequent basis which he is nibbling at.
Prebiotic were started today. IV fluids and a lot of pain meds are still be given. Poor Beau, his little body is really taking a hammering with this illness and all the medications.
Beau is no better than the previous day, but he’s no worse so we are taking that as a positive.
A further payment has been made to the vet, we are just waiting for the statement to share with you all.
You have all been so very generous with your donations, love, concern and well wishes, you really have helped Beau. Remember he’s only young, he’s got a whole life ahead of him, we just need to get him over this hurdle and with your help we really hope that we are.
At present Beau’s pot it in credit, but each day he is at the vet that pot goes down, we doubt he will be home today (although of course we are hopeful), so if you are able to donate a little to Beau’s pot we would be incredibly grateful. The link to donate is below, or you can donate via paypal or directly into the bank.
Beau’s Army, you are making the world of difference to this little lad we promise. Thank you for supporting us and saving him, he’s got a long way to go, but we know, you wonderful people are looking out for us and Beau.
