I just found out that my beloved male puppy is missing a rib, has one kidney, a small liver. He had episodes of "screaming" in pain, he would not eat or drink, had aggressive behavior towards me, and would not let me put him down. At first for hours, and then for a whole day, about once a week. The vet thought it was gas pain. Then we took Xrays and found all of the other issues. He needs to be on amoxycillan, Sam-e, pepcid (only 1.5mg daily), special foods, for the rest of his life. He has IBS and GI problems. It could also be Portal Systemic shunt (micro). A Bial acid test will be given on Monday to determine further treatment. Does anyone have any similar issues at all, any suggestions for treatment, any suggestions where to get the above meds for the least amount of money, or a puppy with any of the same kind of defects? Please help with any information. Thank you.
