Hoping someone can offer a little advice.
I have an elderly JRx (10/11 maybe older we are unsure) and he did in his cruciate ligament. Vet decided not to put him through surgery due to age and problems with other leg.
He has been on loxicom about 2 months now and a joint supplement. We started at different times in case one annoyed him and sure enough a week or 2 into the joint supplement he started eating grass and doing number 2s that were a bit reddish looking so we took him off it. He was better for a while but then got worse again so we stopped loxicom and took him to the vet as I know NSAIDs can cause stomach probs.
She did blood test for his his kidneys - all fine - and gave us omeprazole on Friday for 5 days. Problem is today he will not eat anything other than grass, is vomiting, and clingy - which is a problem itself as he is a rescue who gets agitated being inside.
We will obviously phone vet first thing to get him seen, but I'm very worried and not keen to put him back on loxicom this week like the vet suggested. Obviously he needs to be on a painkiller but I don't want to give him serious stomach issues into the bargain.
Incidentally she has just discovered he has a heart murmur too. I am so worried for my boy. Does anyone have any experience with similar?
