Ethan update (post #36)

Prayers for Ethan from us too. I hope the trouble is pin pointed & he begins to feel & eat better soon.

I think for now, don't even offer dog food, just good quality protein and some safe veggies, and see how it goes! Obviously chicken is approved!

Best wishes for Ethan! I hope the anti-viral does the job. <3

I am so sorry to have missed this! Prayers and thoughts for Ethan and I will go light a candle too.

Thanks for all the PT prayers, I think they're helping! I talked to my sister last night and she says Ethan is doing better. She has been checking his temperature and says that it has returned to normal. He is also starting to get his strength back, as he is able to go up and down the stairs on his own and is starting to play with the other dogs there.
Today he will have a checkup with the doctor to see how he is doing. Fingers crossed that he checks out well enough to come home!
This house is way too quiet without him...

Again, thanks a bunch for keeping my boy in your thoughts. Its means a lot!

Aww, I'm just seeing this. I am glad to hear he is doing better today. I hope he continues to improve and gets the OK from the doctor and can come home with you.

Get better Ethan!!

Well, Ethan had his checkup and he gets to come home tomorrow!!

Turns out he might have had distemper, not a for sure thing... whatever it was, he seems to be well on his way to recovery. Apparantly he is up to around 25 lbs and the swelling in his legs is almost gone. I can't wait until tomorrow. I miss my little guy sooo bad, and he's starting to wear out his welcome at my sister's by hogging the bed and barking at the wind all day. Thats my boy!
