Aly, I know all to well how you are feeling, especially since you are not sure what is wrong, and all you want to do is help. I think that part is the worst. I wouldn't worry about posting too much, I don't think that it is possible. I was creating 2 new threads a day. Nobody seemed to mind, you are worried and this is a good outlet because everybody else would feel the same way, hence we understand.

If he is eating his regular food that is great, and no I do not think it will hurt him. Unless the doctor finds something specific his normal food should be fine. I/D is just a bland food that is a little easier to digest and I think that is about it. I would also see it as a good sign that he is drinking too. He lethargy may just be a side effect of not feeling well. I know I get tired and just sit there when I don't feel well, maybe it is just something like that. I also see drinking as a good sign. Is his stool normal?

On how long it took Joey to get better. Let's see. I think that she must have started to get sick on Wednesday, or maybe a day before. It became very obvioius on Thursday night, and se went to the vet on Saturday. She came home on Monday afternoon and she was still a little sick. She started to look like herself on that Wednesday, but then she got that URI, and that affected her. I would say about a week, but I am still doing Half anf half on I/D and her regular food. Her stool is still a little soft, but it is looking better all the time. It is almost a normal shape again. Now, I don't know if all of the drugs that they gave her speed her recovery or not.

Please let us know what the vet says and if you need any information from me please let me know, I will get you anything that I can. I will be busy at work tomorrow, but will try to check. If not I will check when I get home late tomorrow afternoon.

Here is a big long distance hug for you:

Continued prayers for Chance and you, and the rest of the family.
