Sorry I didn't get to update the site about Isaac's vet visit yesterday.

We had a long day, and shortly after arriving home, we almost lost him.

Thank God For Knowing CPR!!

Anyway...I am still running around today trying to get all the things that the doctor ordered.

As Soon as I get a chance to sit down and catch my breath...I will fill ya in.

Stil waiting on some test results, but I did get a call on the blood work this morning.

Things don't look good for lil Isaac....

First off....Yesterday was a long ride to West Palm.

We got there , talked with the vet about Isaac's history up to this point.

I brought along all of his medical records to the day, as well as the journal that I have been keeping on him.

I discussed my concerns with him about the spitting up, the random face swelling, lack of energy, weight loss, not growing, and every other concern I could think of.

After we talked a few minutes,

they took him, put him under with gas...then they did blood work, 2 ex-rays, fecal-culture, fecal smear, & a comprehensive-profile.

We went over the ex-rays first. The ex-rays showed so much gas & bloating that the he could not see the kidneys.

Vet said he is a little puzzled about the excessive gas.

He also explained that his bone density was awful.

He said Isaac is very under-nourished.

His body is lacking calcium & protein, and is absorbing very little if any nutrients from his food.

Said the color of Isaac's stolls were of some concern...but the fact that they were well formed was a good thing...yet a little puzzling considering all the other factors.

He said that this is something that could very well be genetic.

He recomended some mylanta..a few drops several times a day for the gas.

He recomended trying to get as much protein & calcium in him as we can.

Trying hard boiled egg whites, scrambled eggs, fresh meal worms, even some beef or chicken baby food in the formula.

Said we need to get him on a vitamin containing D3....

so we found and infant vitamin called poly-visol.

we are to give him that..just a few drops several times a day as well.

He said Isaac is a very sick little monkey......

said he is not sure what he can do for Isaac at this point.

He recomended that we start over...rule everything out, & start with a process of eliminatio

So...$757 later..we headed back home.

The whole way home Isaac was very sleepy and out of it.

he sounded congested and his breathing was vey labored.

Shortly after we arrived home...Isaac started doing his."I'm hungry cry"...I guess si, he hadn't eaten in 8 hours!

So I made him a very small bottle.

He started to take a sip, then turned away.

I figured he was still a little out of it...so I didn't pursue it.

I took him over to his bed, changed his diaper, and then proceeded back the hall.

All of sudden..I noticed him raise up, hunch over, and looked as though he wanted to vomit...but nothing was coming out.

Then he started gasping like he could not breath.

I ran him into the bed room..laid him down and began CPR.

He became very limp, he stopped breathing, and when I listened...I heard no heart beat.

I screamed fro my daughter...and said "he is not breathing...I can't go through this again"

I didn't give up.

Still no response.

I stopped for sec...and he just laid there...no sign of life.

I screamed out" please God...don't let this happen!!"

I began CPR again..I noticed his eyes move and he twitched..

I held him up-side down, & swun him through my legs (as I was taught to do with aspirating puppies)

He spit up a little clear liquid...started to gasp...and was trying to cry.

All I know..he he is still alive...and he never left my sight all night!

I slept on the couch, with him on my chest.

Bloodwork: (this morning)
