    Chipper's in the right place to get well. I pray that they figure it out quickly so he doesn't have to feel sick for much longer.

    Gosh, I'm so sorry that you're going through this with your new baby! Prayers are definitely on the way for Chipper. Did the vet consider colitis? It can be really nasty and bloody diarrhea, but easy to treat. I certainly hope they can figure it out soon and get him on his way to feeling good!

    Bless your heart. He's certainly one lucky puppy to have landing in such a good home!

    **hugs**

    Possibly an obstruction?

    Just got off the phone with Dr. Beal.

    The blood test showed negative for Addison's Disease. So they took an X-ray and found what may be a partial obstruction. They are giving him barium right now to verify if it's an obstruction or not. He'll call me with the results and of course if it is an obstruction, he'll need surgery.

    (blue for Sweet Chipper)
    Kimmy & Andy,

    I'll keep Chipper in my prayers. I just said a prayer that the white coats find whatever is ailing poor Chipper and fix him ASAP. I thanked God that He put you both and Chipper together so that he could be helped and then loved forever and ever with you, Kia and the others.

    The 'good' news about an obstruction is that it *usually* is an isolated incident. After he's treated, he'll be OK. If its IBD, or Ulcerative Colitis, it can be treated with special food and some medications to help with his symptoms.

    Either way, whatever they do and/or find, Chipper will remain in my prayers for a quick recovery and the happy home he so deserves with you both.

    Hugs & Love,
    Kelly and Kitties
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...

    A ONE TIME Obstruction and a quick surgical "fix" sounds good to me!
    Let's pray for that!

    I'm really glad you guys decided to "find out what's wrong" rather than "wait" till Thursday!!
    Hopefully the "what's wrong" will be definitive and suggest a positive and permanent solution.

    Give The Boy a gentle {{{Hug}}} when you get to see him.

    Kimmy and Andy,

    We are keeping Chipper close to our thoughts. Please let us know soon how he is doing. I know how you feel...we've been there too many times ourselves. It's just NO fun. Our emergency vet here has saved a few of our dogs!


    Don't buy while shelter dogs die!!

    My heart goes out to all of you . .

    As sad as I feel for the poor little guy, I also feel for you two, as I know the stress of waiting and wondering and worrying can get to you. Take care of each other, and I will definitely add a specific request in Chipper's behalf to my prayers.
    I hate seeing the innocent suffer - young or old, human or canine or feline or equine, any living being. I know there's a reason for the Tests we go through, but they challenge my faith constantly.
    Hugs to you, Andy and the kids at home, Kim - and prayer hugs are being sent to Chipper.
    I'll be checking for updates -
