No accidents overnight and peed at 6 a.m. He's been gassy but no poop.

Got Chipper into the vet at 9 a.m. this morning. He's lost 3 lbs.

He doesn't have a fever and the vet could not detect any masses in his tummy or bowels. He was a little dehydrated so they gave him Sub Q fluids. They also gave him some meds (listed as Rapid Response on the invoice) and sent me home with a can of ID and some Loperamide (anti-diarreha) pills.

The Sub Q fluids really perked him up. He initiated play with Kia the moment we got home and happily took a piece of science diet jerky.

At this point the vet is treating it as an upset tummy either due to his new diet, the bit of turkey he got, or simply a doggie cold. If he doesn't start eating by Thursday they'll run blood tests and take X-rays.

I'm to see if he'll eat small bits of his normal crunchies first, but if not, I have the ID to try or I can give him chicken and rice.

Wish us luck!
