Bumpity-Bump! :p
Did Chipper get a Parental Visit tonight? ...
We'd hoped he got *sprung* for good behavior ... but just Feelin Better will do for now.
Too bad they don't have internet PawBoards in each patient's "room".
Check in when you can.
/s/ :confused: Phred
I'm uploading video. ;) :D
He's still at the hospital but we're planning on bringing him home tomorrow morning. :)
Well, I guess while I'm waiting for the video to load, I'll share the photos from tonight. He looks absolutely wonderful! They've been feeding him every 4 hours and he eats each meal with gusto and keeps it down. No bowel movements but the vets said the enemas were real rough so he's got a bit of a sore bum. We got to be there for one of the feedings and I thought he was going to take poor Michelle out to get to that bowl! *laughs*

Now THAT's a pretty HAPPIE DAWG!!
And he sure seems "Chipper" :)
He'd make a good Dawg Food Model - talk about an "Eager Eater"!
Seems like he's ready, willing, and quite ABLE to go HOME.
One more Night in the Hoppsbittle and then you're OUTTA There!
Keep Feelin GOOD, Chipper!!
:D
I'm so glad to hear this wonderful update.:) I sure hope that Chipper just had a flu bug and that this won't happen again. It was so great to see his pictures and videos showing how perky he has become.:) I'm so glad that he'll be able to come home tomorrow and I hope that he continues to do well.:)
I definately think that Chipper found his heart and home with you guys!
fingers crossed and prayers sent for you guys this weekend!
Kimmy, those pictures of you and Chipper speak volumes. If only every shelter dog could find himself a Kimmy and Andy.
In the dictionary under *love* they should put this picture.

WELCOME HOME, Chip!!
:D
CHIPPER IS HOME!!
He was released at 10 this morning. When they brought him into the room, he jumped into my lap and peed all over my leg. :eek: :p Can you tell he's excited? Or perhaps he's marking me. ;)
He's on a few different meds. A few more doses of Panacur in case of parasites, some Baytril and Clavamox.
We made a few stops on the way home.. got him a new toy and visited the staff at Williamston vet office. He was once again his typical social butterfly self.
He's peeing a lot from being on the IV's so this message will be quick as both Chip and Kia are doing the gotta go potty dance.
I've taken pics and vids but can't get them on the computer till Andy gets home.
They've been playing and have had a few bland biscuit treats. We're off for a walk now and I'll keep in touch on how he's doing.
Oh Kimmy! He looks SO much better! I do hope he comes home today. He looks like a very happy dawg! :D
Welcome Home Chipper!!!
OH, Good GRIEF, Chip! :eek: :pQuote:

Let's try to be CAREFUL at home - please TELL 'em when you need to *pee*!
**WELCOME HOME**, Chipper!!
:D
great news!!!.........hope he gets fully well soon so ha can gain the weight he lost.........he sound such a happy boy..............LOL @ mr. pee-your-leg..........haha............but i bet you liked it :p
thank God it was nothing worse.....
we stillīll be needing pics of him and Kia you know...........
how about a happy at home ones............when youīve got time of course
The walk went very well. Nothing like being dragged down the road by two dogs. :D
He finally pooped. It was soft but well formed. He greeted everyone we met and pounced on leaves that would blow by. They are now taking a nap, though I'm sure it'll be short lived.
Welcome home Chipper!!!
(((hugs)))big boy! :D
Welcome home Chipper! :D
There's no place like home, right Chipper. :) So glad to hear how much
progress was made for your boy.Hope you all can now settle in just being
a happy family. Welcome home Chipper. :)
WELCOME HOME, CHIPPER! So glad to hear that you're home and doing well.
YAY!!! Welcome home Chipper!!!:D What great, great news!!! Chow down, snuggle up with your Mom and Dad and Kia and have a happy weekend, sweetheart! Hope to see those pounds packing on, very soon!:)
Hugs and kisses to you, Chipper!:D
Sorry for not having posted sooner. I have been following the thread and praying for you both and Chipper. Having had Snoopy in the "hospital" so short a time ago I know how worrisome it is when they aren't real sure what is wrong. Looks like Chipper did much better than Snoops with the IV. Snoopy would have never left that IV connection remain as it was in your picture. I cannot tell you how many times they had to poke old Snoops because he wouldn't leave things be.
I am so glad Chipper is getting better and home. I will keep praying for you all.
OUTSTANDING!!!! WELCOME HOME CHIPPER!!!
I am so glad to hear that Chipper is being "chipper!" I hope he feels better enough next week to come and visit and get his picture taken with Para Noel (Father Christmas)!!! He and Kia will look outstanding against the back drop!
WELCOME HOME CHIPPER!!! I'm so glad to hear that he's finally home and I hope that everything will continue to go well for him.:)
Oh Happy Day! Now you take it a bit easy Chipster boy. Don't be trying to make up for lost time by being wild and crazy and wearing yourself out. Pace yourself, okay? Your new-found PT people have been worried about you to say nothing of what Mom and Dad have been through. Take your medicine like a good boy and heed what Uncle Phred says- let's be careful where you lift the leg. Hint - if it's cold, it's probably okay to let 'er rip.
Dinner went perfectly. He gobbled it all down and took his meds with no fuss and like a champ. :D He even wanted my sushi. :p
He had a little dribble accident inside in his excitement of me arriving home from running errands, but he held most of it in and let loose outside. :D
They are now resting after a small bout of play. Chipper is probably still tired from his ordeal, but he does not look ill, simply restful. I'm actually glad he's not gungho, it gives me time to pick up this place. It's pretty messy in here. :o
He perks up when someone enters the building though. Something he didn't do when he was sick.
WELCOME HOME HANDSOME MAN!!!
How great it is to hear that you're home and doing so well, Chipper!! Keep feeling good sweetheart!! :) :D :) Please have Mom give you some extra kisses from us!! :D :D :D
Aww! Welcome home Chipper! Kimmy, we must have been posting at exactly the same time this morning. What a happy day!
Yay Chipper!!! So glad to see you are back home where you belong.
So glad he's getting better Kimmy. Can't wait for more pics!
I haven't been on Pet Talk much lately, so I missed all that has been happening with Chipper.
I'm so sorry that he hasn't been feeling well, now I'm happy to see that he is feeling much better and that he is back home with you. :)
I'm so glad that Chipper is home now and doing better!! :D
Welcome home Chipper :D. Kimmy & Andy i am so glad to hear that your boy is feeling better, what wonderful news. More healing vibes on the way for a full and speedy recovery.
{{Hugs}}
Thanks everyone for the good thoughts. He's continuing to do great. No vomiting, eating everything in sight, begging for our food, and having good poops.
Chipper and Kia have been wrestling so much this morning that I'm surprised they are not pooped out yet.
Here are some photos and videos from yesterday when he came home from the hospital.

Oh Welcome Home Chipper!!!!!!!!!
It's so good to hear that he's home and doing well Kim, I couldn't be more excited:D
I especially love the pictures of him with his head in Zam's butt:p
Thank you for keeping us so up to date on how he is doing. We really appreciate that as I believe the others are like me and checking in frequently. Such encouraging news today. Anyone want to do a happy dance with me?
And Kimmy, your pictures are the best. Looks like Chip-man has adopted the Kia *look* of wide eyed innocence. And what a good boy he is with Zam. That is amazing for who knows what his history was. Hugs for the boy, please.
