I haven’t been blogging very faithfully, as our little dog, Tchotchke, has needed a lot of love and attention following his run in with congestive heart failure. He has been doing a lot better, but his appetite all but disappeared with the course of different drugs he is on–one to make his heart beat stronger, a diuretic which targets keeping his lungs clear, a regular diuretic, and an ACE inhibitor to keep blood pressure low.
Not to bore you with medical jargon we have been prescribed a brand new miracle liquid called “Entyce.” It is a brand spanking new appetite stimulant, a ghrelin receptor, and if you never heard of ghrelin it is what makes humans and dogs hunger for food! A tiny 3 ml. each day is enough to make our pup hunger for his food again! A miracle in a bottle. Not for humans, just dogs. So if any of you have an older dog that thru illness or pain has lost his desire to eat, please see your vet for a prescription. It works great in about 70% of the dogs tested.
Please be patient and I promise I will post more regularly when our tiny patient gets better!
