Hi everyone Thought I'd stop by and show you how Charlie is now. Still in bed!
-
I wanted to know what a bully stick was but...Forget it, google just told me ewwwww
-
Got a better picture to compare and put it with one of him shortly before he got ill. First pic of him in his fav place, second one of him how he has been since Friday:

This is Charlie on the way home from the vets on Friday, as you can see he is all bones.... pic on its way just needs resizing...

It is difficult to say exactly what the vet found, as he was not that bothered about the 'what is & what's not' of the situation, he was more interested in putting Charlie down there and then and incinerating him. He was still distant and tellin…
-
He won't eat the vet food at all today, so I have put him back on the food he was originally on (before he became ill) which is warm. He is eating it a few mouthfuls at a time but still dodging tablets. So now I am just giving food and tablets separ…

Thank you for that, I will get some fish for him. Charlie tasting it was my biggest worry, as I have been trying with his vet food and cheese, he won't go near them now. So the smell of fish should do the trick.

I did consider that, but thought he might taste it and he is not eating enough for me to make sure he gets as much of each tablet as possible but when he is more into food I will try that method as well and see which works best. Thank you for your s…

Yes he is still a bit unusual (understandably) but when he gets more excited about food I will try that method. The curiosity and mild excitement is there but there is a lack of trust because he knows the tablets are there even when I put them in hi…

Thank you for your reply, I think I will check with other vets regarding his current foods. As for the food types you recommended, I will stop at the farm food shop where I get his food and see what they have got as the vets prices are 4 times highe…

Thank you all for your messages. I went to see Charlie yesterday and to my amazement they decided he should go home so they would have the room on the weekend. Looking at him I think this is too soon. They took him off the drip a few days ago but f…

Thank you for your messages. The more I hear other akita owners have not experienced this the better I feel as I was initially concerned it would be a common but incurable problem with akita's. He is a fighter and had a rough start to life until I…

Thank you all for your advice and messages of support. I don't want to tempt fate but I just called and the vet says they are very pleased with Charlie today. He has held his food down/in and could be on the mend. Long way to go obviously but there…

Thank you for your reply. He has been on IV since he went in unwell. He has had blood tests. I have had him 5 months so not sure when he was vaccinated but that was one of the reason's for the initial health check. Parvo was the initial thought but…

Yes I am more convinced by it each day, otherwise I am sure they would have picked it up if it was something else like a virus. Thank you
-
Thank you very much
-
Yes he is on a drip with anti-sickness, anti-biotics and had a few other medication as they were testing him over the last few days. I am in the U.K

I stick to the least toxic since Charlie has been around but there is every chance the vets had used it when we went in on the first visit (health ckeck ... how ironic!)
