Thanks for the positive energy and prayers for Pepper. I think that he's feeling much better today. I called the vet this morning and he told me to start the pills. I gave him his morning pill and so far he hasn't thrown up yet. I need to really watch him the next few days because if he does start throwing up then he may have a different kind of problem. He seems to want a lot of extra loving which is fine with me. I sure hope that he's on the road to recovery. Thanks again everyone for your concerns towards him. I'll keep you updated if anything changes.
