I have one very sick "puppy". Well at 7 years & 104 lbs she isn't exactly a puppy anymore. She sure thinks she is. Anyway she has been having diarrhea & vomiting. The vet gave her several shots, some pills, & a special food. However yesterday, she wasn't eating nor drinking at all. We started forcing some Gatorade down her ever 15 minutes then 30 minutes last night. DH is helped me. We were trying to keep her from having to get an IV. She is soooo much better this AM. Don't get me wrong she is still a sick puppy but she is better. She ate some of the special canned Dogfood so her stomach is better. I stayed up till 3 am doing the Gatorade thing. DH stayed from 3 till 6 doing the same. I tried the water but it made her gag. It looks like she is drinking water on her own today. (I haven't personally seen it.) We are gonna give her some more of the canned food in a few minutes. She is acting more chipper today also.
We aren't going to Midland tomarrow. She isn't up to the trip. There isn't anyone here that I can ask to watch a sick dog.
