A couple of weeks ago I put out a prayer request for my dog – Jake. Jake had gotten very sick, not eating and having severe diarrhea. Typical actions for dietary issues for a large dog like Jake would be chicken breast and plain rice. It didn’t work.
A couple of visits the vet found nothing in blood work. Special food was provided but Jake continued to deteriorate. Jake was down 20 pounds from his high of 75 and getting weak. Another visit to the vets and they recommended taking him to a specialist.
The specialist kept him for several days running numerous tests. In the end, they found the problem. He has a disease that will not allow his body to ingest fats. The fats clog up his intestines which stop absorbing nutrients.
$2500, several prescriptions – and special low-fat food and he is recovering.
I really appreciate the prayers and positive response.
Thanks
Rourke
