Reuben at the Vets this afternoon

[kateincornwall]

I am a little worried , he did a black poo this morning after doing a normal one yesterday afternoon . I know that mast cell cancer can cause gastro issues , often an ulcer so its best to get him check out with Sue xx

 

[edzbird]

Fingers crossed for dear Reuben...and lambies for you both
So good that Reuben's special vet Sue is on today.

 

[Cath]

Better safe than sorry

Best thing to do Kate xx

 

[Jacqui-S]

Hopefully nothing

Hope the check up goes well and it just something he ate. I can understand your concern.

Just home after Reuben had a very lengthy examination . I had taken a photo of the black poo which he had a few months ago when I gave him omeprazole and it cleared . Sue agrees with me that it is most likely an ulcer which is caused by the mast cell cancer . I am to give him two 20mg omeprazole a day for two weeks and then ring Sue . If the black poo comes back ,he will have to be referred for an endoscopy so we just hope that this isnt necessary . In himself, he is his usual lunatic self , his heart and lungs are good , no obvious swellings in his tummy so we just hope the omeprazole does the trick xxx

 

[Jacqui-S]

Fingers crossed Kate.
Hugs to you all.

 

[Stacia]

Yes, fingers crossed that Omeprazole does the trick, it did before so all hope it will again this time.

 

[Granca]

I hope the omeprazole sorts it out, Kate. Sending lots of and .

 

[M.F.]

Thinking of you both xxx

How's Reuben doing, Kate?

Thank you for asking xx Unfortunately, the black poo continues but he has only had two days of omeprazole so I must keep hopeful . In himself , well , he isnt right, nothing I can put my finger on but he is very clingy and for him , quiet , its a worry xx

Maybe he is sensitive to you worrying and picking up on that? I so hope it is nothing serious.

Oh bless him. Sending lambies and hugs Kate. I hope your vet can soon sort him out
