I'll post a few here and then give you the link if you want to look at the rest.

Look at the smile on Huney's face. She's so glad to have her big brother home:D

It's so good to have our big beautiful boy home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid124/pb7750b537398005db994a289be066a73/f81b5263.jpg

If you want to see the rest of the pictures, they are HERE (http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid124/pb7750b537398005db994a289be066a73/f81b5263.jpg)

For now he is on a special food he gets 1/2 can 4x's/day.
He's taking:
Carafate 1gm (1 every 12 hours)
Prednisone 20 mg (1 every 12 hours)
Metronidazole 500 mg (2 1/2 every 12 hours)
and
Orabax 22.7 mg (5 every 24 hours:eek: )

Alot of meds hu? It's a good thing he likes the canned food (Purina Veterianary Diet EN Gastroenteric) she has him on.
I need to call her tomorrow and give her an update on him. Hopefully it will all be good. He hasn't pood tonight but boy does he ever have some smelly gas:p It's all good though! I can put up with a little gas as long as he gets to be home!
She is leaving the catherater (sp?) in his arm right right now just in case he has to go back in. Please keep praying he doesn't!
Thank you everyone!!!!! I'll never doubt the power of PT prayer:D

:D

[Dot]

Dear Anna,

I am SO pleased that your Angus is home, and feeling better!

The one medicine he is on, Carafate, I had never heard of, so I searched for info on Google. You might want to take a look at this webpage - it sounds just like what has happened to Angus: http://www.bowwowbakery.com/Ulcersindogs.htm

It seems from the link above, and from the other webpages that came up, that it is vitally important to watch for dehydration. Some people's dogs almost died from dehydration before they could be cured of what was really wrong. Sounds like your vet is handling it well.

In an on-line (people) medical dictionary reference to Carafate, it is described as a treatment for ulcers, and that it works best when taken on an empty stomach. (Of course, that advice was intended for humans. Just thought I'd mention it.)

I loved to see the pictures of Angus with his toys. If he has to spend another day at the vet's to get more fluids, maybe you could leave his football there with him!?

:-Dot

[countrycowgirl]

YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!! Angus is home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) I am so glad to see you home sweet boy........ I wish I could give you a hug in person but I will let your mommy give you one from me for now;) ...... I loved seeing the pics of you at home soo glad that you are home! :D :D :D :D we will still be praying for you sweetie!

[Holly's mom]

Welcome home, Angus!! So glad he is feeling better, I can tell by the pictures that he is SOOOOOOOO glad to be home!!

[slick]

OMG Anna, I'm so happy I'm crying happy tears.

The pictures tell all! You must be soooo relieved and I can't say it enough, Pet Talk Prayers really to help!!!!

Kisses to you sweet Angus and more hugs coming to you Anna.:) :)

[jenfer]

Yipee! Angus is home!!! :) A big hug to you, sweet Angus. :D

[Glacier]

Welcome home Angus!

[binka_nugget]

I'm so glad he's back! Yay Angus! Welcome home! :D

Silly Anna.. you linked to the last picture instead of the album!

[lynnestankard]

HURRAY!! WOW WOW WOW!!! YAY!!
(I'm soooo excited!)

Welcome Home Dear Mushy Face - Oh Angus you had us all soooo worried - no more of that eh? Wonderful to see you playing with your toys and getting such a BIG welcome from Huney and Roxey - to say nothing of Mummy and Daddy xxxxxx

I thought they might have put a blue bandage on your paw - you're not really a pink boy are you!!!!:D :D :D

Anna can you give the big boy a big hug from me - I'm just so pleased he's home xxxxx

PS Maybe you can relax a little now eh?

Love Lynne

How is Angus feeling today, Anna? I hope all is well.

Robin :)

[anna_66]

He's snoozing at the moment but he's been doing great! Doc said he can get that thing out of his leg tomorrow as long as he keeps eating and drinking:D
He's been taking all his pills like a good boy (as long as I put them in a chunk of the food and hand feed him:p). He's drinking, good and no diarrhea!

He played outside with his big red ball for a bit, then he rested. After he woke up we went for a short walk and now he's sleeping again.

Of course I had to snap some more pictures again, hope you don't mind me sharing a couple.

HERE'S (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286424059) the link to the album if you want to check out the rest.

My beautiful boy!

Another edit: nevermind, found a different way ^^

[*LabLoverKEB*]

WELCOME HOME, SWEET ANGUS! I LOVE YOU! :)

[heinz57_79]

Once again, a little slow on the uptake... new job means not as much time to browse. :( I'm so glad Angus made it home!! I knew he would. Right on, big guy! Way to pull through just like we all figured! You've made your mom, dad and all of us here at PT very happy!

We love you, Angus! Stay healthy! :D

[tikeyas_mom]

i am so verry happy that he is home :)

[K9soul]

Oh Angus, seeing those happy pictures were like seeing a ray of sunshine after days of darkness! He really looks wonderful Anna, I can't tell you how relieved and overjoyed I am to see it. Please please add hugs and kisses from me to the big boy. Angus will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. You keep getting better sweetheart!

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

I'm so glad that Angus is home and feeling better. Hooray!

[lizzielou742]

Welcome home Angus!!!

So glad he's feeling better!

[lynnestankard]

Just dropped back in Anna - to check that big schmoochy face is still OK!! Great pics - really enjoyed looking through your album.

I'll be back to re-check!! :D :D

Lynne

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yeah!!!! I am SO happy to see those pics of him in his own backyard!!! He looks sooo happy to be home, and Huney and Roxie look like they can't get enough of him. :D

In the pic of him with his football he looks like a puppy again.

Oh Angus, big big smoochies and hugs to you. Yeah!!!! :D :D

[anna_66]

Here's another update on my little man;) :

We just got back from the vet's a little while ago and she is so happy with his recovery. She said he looks awesome (but I already knew that:p ).
She went to take the needle out of his leg (the one they left in in case he needed an IV again) and he'd have nothing to do with that. He backed up and gave her "The Look" and acted like he was going to snap at her. So just in case she muzzled him and I held his head up so he couldn't see her. Then all went well. It just took a few seconds and he was out of the muzzle and letting her pet him. I kinda wondered if he'd be a little leary of her trying to take it out. He didn't care if I touched it, he just didn't want her to.

Anyway, she said I can slowly start adding his food to the prescription food. I'm sure he'll be happy about that because he would go over and stand by his food and just look at me. It just broke my heart:( He can also have a few treats (which he was soooo happy about:D).

But as of now he's doing good. I just hope he continues to thrive after he's off all his meds.

He sends big sloppy kisses to all of you!

[Karen]

Yay! Oh treats galore as soon as they are safe - Paul would heartily approve of his not wanting the vet to touch him - just ask Paul about doctors some time.

'nother big hug'n'kiss for Angus! Mwwwwah!

[Marie410]

So glad to hear he's still doing well! He looks great! :D

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Anna:):):) I can't express in words how happy I am for you and Angus and the family! It's truly a miracle:) Paws crossed that our precious Angus conitinues to improve with each passing day! What a brave, courageous boy you are sweetheart! Love and kisses to you dear Angus!!!

[Sudilar]

That is such great news!!! So glad Angus is recovering well!!!!!! Woohoo!

[Kfamr]

Thanks for the update Anna!

Silly Angus, Mrs. Vet Lady is there to help ya!! I don't blame you though... if someone was poking around me I think i'd act tough and mean too!



{{hugs to all}}

[Holly's mom]

That is wonderful news! I am so happy that Angus is doing so well!!!:)

[chocolatepuppy]

Great news! Angus is such an adorable boy. Hopefully he'll get better everyday!

Give him a big kiss for me.

Clara

[anna_66]

Thanks Clara. Big kisses given:D

[ChrisH]

Anna, how is Angus doing today?

[DogLover9501]

Im glad Angus is still doing well!! We knew he would ;)

How long is he on the meds for?

More updates, please :D

[anna_66]

He's still a litttle tired from his meds but otherwise doing just dandy! Thanks for asking.
He only has one more day of the meds then he's through. He'll just be taking the steroids. He goes to the vets again on Friday to have an adjustment (kinda like a chiropractic adjustment-to help him with his mobility) and we'll find out if he still needs to take that (steroids) or not.
Robyn, I just sneaked a picture of him just for you;) He was snoozing but he said he didn't mind me waking him:D

I hope everything keeps going fine, even after he is off the meds!

[Kfamr]

Oh Angus, can I cuddle up with you, please? :D

[lbaker]

Kay, you are sooo right! Don't you just want to lay down with him and feel his big gentle paw around you :)

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

awwww

Angus I love you so much!!! I am so glad you are feeling better!!

You keep being a good boy so you can come off those medicines o.k.....

{{{HUGS }}} for you Angus... I wish i could be there really to give you a real life hug!!!:)

[dukedogsmom]

That's going to be a mighty full bed because I'll be there too! Angus, you are such a sweetie and we're so glad you're doing a huge amount better. Anna, we could see a hundred pics of Angus and not get tired of them.

[lynnestankard]

He he he - a bed full of Angus - what more could we need:D :D

Glad he's doing fine Anna - keeping fingers crossed for his visit to the 'white coats' tomorrow.
