I've been giving Jazz 1 Imodium tablet per day to keep the diarrhoea at bay. Yesterday, as he'd been pretty solid for a few days, and not wanting to bung him up, I skipped a day.

This morning, he had his Imodium again (as he's due for Vincristine on Monday), plus his Prednisolone and Leukeran. Andy and Lizzie were with him in the garden for a while around midday, and he'd been eating a bit of grass. Then Andy took Lizzie home, and when he came back about an hour and a quarter later, Jazz had had liquid diarrhoea in his crate. Around 3:30 he vomited a couple of times - producing totally undigested chicken, noodles and K/D from breakfast, plus grass.

Called the vet for advice on what drugs to give him from the collection I have available . As it happened, Fiona's on call today. She suggested that I try to get some Canikur into him (kaolin and electrolytes), and I also went to collect some vials of metoclopramide and tagamet in case he continues to vomit (particluarly as we're off to Southampton for Grandad's 90th birthday party tomorrow). She's also topped up the Canikur, and has given me some Lectade electrolyte powder to put in his water to counter the effects of the diarrhoea.

He's now eaten a bit of cooked chicken and had some more Imodium too, plus a dose of Canikur (which took some persuasion - with or without Mars bar!).
