Please keep Buddy in your thoughts. *GOOD UPDATE*

[Ginger's Mom]

Hoping that it is all a good sign and that Buddy is on his way to becoming his old self. As you said, the vet's office can keep an eye on him for the rest of the afternoon, and maybe (hopefully) he will have a nice bm in that time period.

[Jadapit]

I hope Buddy is back to being his self when you get him home. You both are still in my thoughts. (((Hugs)))

[Dorothy39]

Thank-You for up-dating again.

Sure do hope Buddy regains his health after all this trama!!

Just keeping my fingers crossed that he does not have a blockage.

[pitc9]

Yeah, I still have it in the back of my mind that he still could have a blockage. I won't be 100% convinced until I see him poop at home.
But #1, he's never lost his appetite and #2; he's remained active.
Monday night Sierra kept trying to get him to play but he kept ignoring her but then finally gave in and chased her around the yard for a little bit.
So the more I tell myself these things the more I think I've talked myself into believing that he may not have a blockage after all.
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes!
I'll post some pictures of the 2 tonight when I get home.

Between Buddy loosing 12 pounds (he's now down to 78 pounds) and Sierra FINALLY getting up to a good weight (73 pounds) it's weird to see them so close in weight! At one point Buddy was about 25 pounds heavier than her!
When I adopted him he was only 76 pounds and was just skin and bones, it took awhile but I got him up to 90 and was looking great!! Then this happened... Guess we're back to square one!
Thanks again!!!
{Hugs}

[Dorothy39]

Thanks, I'll check and see if there are pictures of Buddy and Sierra tonight!!!

[petslover]

Please let us know about him.. thanks!

HE'S HOME!!!!!
YIPPEEE!!!
This is what I look like right now:
This is Sierra right now:
And this is Buddy:
And.... drum roll please.... he pooped and it was Good!!!
I was so happy to see a good firm poop I felt like taking a picture of it!
Oh I can't tell you how happy I am to have my baby boy back home!!!
He's on Hills I/D for a few days. 1/2 can every 4-6 hours for a few days, then I'll start mixing in his food. I have to watch his water intake also.
He's just got a boo boo on his right front leg from the IV and he's on the skinny side but besides that he's doing good!!
I'll take and post pictures just as soon as I find that darn camera.... where in the world did I leave it???
Thank you all soooooo much for your prayers!
I know he's not 100% out of the woods yet, I still have to be very careful with his food and water, but he is well on his way to a speedy recovery!
I am going to start both on Interceptor as soon as Buddy is better.
Thanks you all again!!!
Sierra, Buddy and Angie

[Ginger's Mom]

Yay for Buddy! Glad to hear he is home and doing better. I am sure he won't mind eating every four hours. I hope he keeps improving.

[cyber-sibes]

Great news! Glad everything's "coming out" alright!

[wolf_Q]

Glad to hear Buddy is doing better! Can't wait for the pics!

[RobiLee]

Thats good news, Angie! Glad he is doing better.

{{Big Hugs to Buddy please}}

[Dorothy39]

For the life of me, I don't know why I missed this GOOD news while on line last night.

But, I found it and I am over joyed too!!! I wonder how Buddy might react if he knew that you are telling the world about his recent bowel movement!!!!!! --Hey, We're Fur Mothers Buddy!!!!!! We are so glad every thing came out okay!!!!!

Now, remember, you promised a picture of Buddy and Sierra.

No poop pictures please!!!!!!!!


Gosh, I am so happy he's HOME!!!!!!

[Pam]

I was so happy to see a good firm poop I felt like taking a picture of it!

LOL! LOL! Like Dorothy said, we are all fur mommies and we understand the excitement about things like that! I arrived a little late to this thread and actually I am happy that I did because it seems like Buddy has turned a corner! I hope that he continues to do well. Now we'll just hope there are no more thunderstorms coming your way! My sister-in-law's 90 lb. GSD always hid in the fireplace when thunderstorms went through.

My sister-in-law's 90 lb. GSD always hid in the fireplace when thunderstorms went through.

How funny!! Buddy does that exact thing too!!!
We have a fireplace down the basement that is not used and that's where he goes sometimes during storms!!!

All three of us slept like babies last night!!
I fell asleep with my arms around Buddy and woke up with his head resting on my shoulder. I didn't want to go to work!! Wahhhh!!
But I have to work to pay the vet bill! I shouldn't complain, it was only $240 and I don't think it was all that bad.

[Dorothy39]

Wow, that's not bad, considering he was on an I.V., spent the night, etc.

I don't blame you for not wanting to go to work today. Buddy and Sierra sound like the best dogs in the world right now.

I'm so very glad that he is doing much better!!!!!!!
