Let's keep Valerie and Duke in our prayers

[Ginger's Mom]

I have been a little out of touch on this thread. Just tried to do a quick read through to catch up. So Duke's bloodwork came out well, and he is starting to eat a little better? But, he has a follow-up visit tomorrow at the vet to get his med's straightened out. Is that correct? Hope all goes well, and that this is just a little glitch that comes with the change in seasons (as much as it changes down there), and the Duke is soon feeling like his old self again soon.

Duke is seeming more like his old self. He's falling but not as much and seems much happier. However, I still can only get him to eat chicken. After much coaxing, he did eat two mouthfuls of his dry food this morning. I'm waiting to hear from the vet. I want to ask if he can at least be given his Metacam. He's getting really stiff and has to get up and down slowly. I just wish he would eat a decent meal before I have to go to work tonight. Thanks for all the good thoughts.

Hey Duke.....you have no idea how many prayers are being said for you all around the world. Come on boy, we want to see you eat a good meal. Oh how I wish I lived closer so I could walk over with some of my home made doggie treats.

Big slurpy kisses you Duke and {{{hugs}}} Val. I be checking on this tomorrow.

Had to talk to the vet this afternoon. Duke's bm was nasty. I won't go into details. I had to go to the store and get him some Maalox. He still won't eat anything but chicken. So, we didn't feed him tonight. I'm hoping he'll eat tomorrow. When he was eating the chicken this morning, I heard his tummy growl so I know he's hungry. I was able to give him his Metacam today, too. Please pray he eats soon! If he doesn't it's back to the vet on Monday morning. I'm about sick over him being sick.

Thanks for the update, Val. I am praying very hard that Duke will start eating and get well very soon. I know this has been very hard on you.

Sending prayers and lots of good thoughts to you and Duke.

Lots of hugs,
Willie
