Update

Tyler is having a hard day. His constipation meds aren't working so we are beginning to worry about a possible obstruction. Considering the red chinese checker ball in his poop one time, I wouldn't rule anything out. The meds have the rest of the weekend to do their thing before I take him for an xray. He is WAY too swollen and his gut is as hard as a rock. He moans a lot, but he is in a pretty good mood considering. He broke out in a rash this morning all across his back and chest. I know this is common with yeast die off, but I am watching him closely to make sure it is not a reaction to any medication. After a warm clay bath with epsom salts, the rash has subsided a little. He has also completely stopped scratching. This reaction is probably toxin release from killing the fungus and bacteria. He is talking a lot today. When I asked him where his drink was he replied, "There he is!" :) No signs of healing regression yet. Let's hope the rash is the worst of the die off this time 'round.
