alex/happy update

[K9karen]

Sorry for the late reply, but luckily I got to it with a happy ending. Feel better as fast as lightening, Alex! Funny, chicken soup is quite a "cure' for so many things. (thanks grandmom)

he's got the squirts again. he went out 5 times last night, and when i looked this am it's clay colored. i'll call the vet tomorrow, give him only defatted chicken broth tonight and tomorrow am, no dog cookies (dog abuse he'll say) and go very very slowly on reintroducing food. he really is happy this am, we sat outside, me drinking my coffee, he was on yard patrol. one of the true pleasures of life on sunday am, good coffee, fresh air and a sweet old dog near by

Poor alex ., You, however, are a wonderful Mother Dog!!!!!

[cyber-sibes]

We'll say a prayer for Alex, poor guy. Hope he's feeling better soon.

[caseysmom]

Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear that, why do they suspect that? I don't know what to say just that you are in my thoughts.

[finn's mom]

oh that's horrible news. I hope their suspicions prove incorrect.

[joycenalex]

he's convinced that i'm trying to starve him (no cookies, at all!) but he's staggery and the vet will be giving him some antibiotics, he's not rebounding too fast. chicken broth and oatmeal for dinner tonight, we're out of rice. a dogs' life

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry to hear that he is still not doing too well. Come on Alex, we are all pulling for you to feel better fast. I am hoping for you to get some cookies tomorrow.

[joycenalex]

it's bad news. since last week he's developed a heart murmer and they strongly suspect he has a brain tumor. words fail me

By "staggery" I thought he you meant like a mock starvation type pose.
But was he really unsure of his footing or have trouble walking? This sure
seems to have come out of the blue. I am so sorry if his outlook looks so
unsure. Prayers for Alex on the way.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry to hear this. It really does seem to be too much all at once. I hope they find that things are not as bad as they think. I cannot imagine how hard this is on you. Prayers and hugs are being sent out for you and Alex.

[My Peanuts]

I'm so sorry to hear this about Alex. Let's just pray they are wrong.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm sending urgent prayers out to Alex right away. So sorry to hear this. I hope he gets better soon and has a complete recovery
(((((HUGS TO ALEX AND MOM)))))

[joycenalex]

alex and i had a good day. he's less staggery, ate like a horse, and did steal peanuts kong this afternoon, while peanut was outside. we're going to sit outside and watch the fireflies for awhile. thanks for all the good wishes.

[Karen]

Sounds like a nice day, one to treasure!
