QUESTION:
I have a 5 yr old with adrenal and insulinoma. We've been doing the pred. she
has maxed out on the dosage and has just recently stopped eating and taking
her meds. She sleeps all the time. She will not even eat a raisin.
I took her to the vet and she suggested we try the proglycem. Do you know
where someone might get the med? What is ferretzyme? I have been
trying wrapping her in a blanket and syringe feeding her. She cries
the whole time, so we both sit there and cry. I'm not ready to give
up. I have gotten a baby tube you use on newborns and am going to give
the syringe feed another go. Do you have any suggestions?
Id be very grateful.
ANSWER:
Are you giving little Sadie baby food? The Ferretzyme
breaks down the cooked food and adds the enzymes
that are missing, it will help with digestion and
also put good bacteria back into the digestive tract.
Be careful with the syringe or tube that she doesn't
aspirate and get pneumonia.
Proglycem is available everywhere although
it can be expensive, however it may help Sadie. I
personally have not have a lot of success with it through
the years.
How much pred are you giving and how
much baby food are you feeding and how often. If she
doesn't eat, no medicine will help. I am wondering
if yourpred dose is high enough.
