Sully gagged and vomited for the entirety of last night. Having not slept, we are both exhausted. Seeing him in so much discomfort was extremely upsetting, and I have begun to consider the possibility of being forced to put him to sleep. I know that he doesn't deserve to suffer like this for several months, and I don't want to be one of those selfish people who refuse to acknowledge when it is time to let a dog go peacefully.
I think that his vomitting is mostly being caused by the harsh nature of the antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications, and considering that the majority of Coonhound Paralysis / Facial Paralysis cases documented online site that the disease is unimpeded by medications, I have decided to stop giving Sully the medication.
Sully can no longer swallow dry dog food. Upon the recommendation of the vet, I have tried hand feeding him small pieces of boiled chicken breast. For every three pieces he swallows, he gags up two. I know he feels terrible and I am very disheartened.
He still wags his tail every time I enter the room.
