    They put him on fluids, ran bloodwork and gave him antibiotic and antivomiting meds. As of 2:00 pm today, the vet said he's eaten a little soft food and kept it in, but that he's still panting a lot and doesn't look as perky as he should. So it's an overnight stay and we'll review what's happening tomorrow morning.

    I know I have 5 dogs, but just having my Kirby gone makes the house seem so empty. He's my best buddy.

    Just saw that Kirby had to stay the night. I know with multiples it is still surprising how one's absence is so noticeable! Continued prayers from RI.

    He's home!!

    Still don't know what caused it, but he came home today. Had 24 hours of fluids, some antibiotics and antivomiting meds. He'll be on antibiotics for a week and canned ID for 5 days. The vet said if he throws up again, bring him right in the first time, we'll do the shots and nip this in the bud.

    Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts. I was so worried. It was hard to sleep without him snoring next to me.
