    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.

    We both slept great. He woke up in the same position he went to sleep. Love that boy!

    Back to the vet last night

    He threw up his dinner, so a fast call to the vet and fast trip back to the office. He's now on anti-vomiting meds twice a day; antibiotics twice a day and carafate for his stomach. I'm also feeing him 3 times a day instead of 2 - smaller meals.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that things will improve soon. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    Kirby is still having issues. He went to the vet on Wednesday for another shot. Seemed to be doing well until 12:15 am on Saturday morning - lost what was left of his dinner from the night before. Tried breakfast and within 1 hour it all came back up. So back to the vet on Saturday at 7:30 am. More bloodwork, another shot, two prescriptions, and a nutritional supplement later we came home. The vets can find no physical reason for him to be sick. Have to give him 3-4 small meals a day. Keep him as calm as possible and hope for the best.

    Only good news we got at the vet was that he'd gained back half pound of the three pounds he's lost throughout this ordeal. For a 20 lb pupper that's a lot of weight to lose in 10 days.

    Poor little guy could sure use some more prayers.
