Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thanks you for your concern and thoughts about my little Alice. She had a fall this morning, quite like a drop one, so we went in to see her neuro. Thank goodness, her blood work is normal--I don't know what they checked. Her throat is kind of red, so may be a throat infection, which explained why she refused food and water, I hope. And for the fall, we will just keep an close eye on her. The good thing was after the strggling for getting blood work and seeing her neuro, Alice got very exhausted. After a long nap, she started to eat and drink again. It may just be some hospital magic. Alice usually gets well after seeing her docter, having a good cry. I am so relieved, and hope the trend will continue to be good. She is on 4.1:1 ratio, 875cal. We will reduce it to 4:1 to lower the ketosis. And if she drinks well, I am sure her stick will not look that terrible dark. Thanks, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 With a 4:1 ratio, red throat and refusing food and water, it sounds like it could be reflux, very common on the diet. It should be treated as it can be very painful and cause a lot of unnecessary misery. You don't have to use medications, but treat by other means.
