Chipper + Cat Food = Ick! Ick! Ick!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I hope you don't mind that I have put Chipper's picture on my desktop so I can see his adorable facie everytime I'm at the computer. Me and the girls are praying so hard for him and talking to his picture. GET WELL CUTIE PIE!!!
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Hoping that whatever he has him sick, goes away so he can be a happy healthy puppy romping around.........

((hugs))........and good vibes your way

[luvofallhorses]

the poor baby! I really hope it isn't parvo or anything serious. I will keep you, your family, and Chipper in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS))) please keep us updated, which I am sure you will.

[Queen of Poop]

Chipper's in the right place to get well. I pray that they figure it out quickly so he doesn't have to feel sick for much longer.

[wolflady]

Gosh, I'm so sorry that you're going through this with your new baby! Prayers are definitely on the way for Chipper. Did the vet consider colitis? It can be really nasty and bloody diarrhea, but easy to treat. I certainly hope they can figure it out soon and get him on his way to feeling good!

Bless your heart. He's certainly one lucky puppy to have landing in such a good home!

Just got off the phone with Dr. Beal.

The blood test showed negative for Addison's Disease. So they took an X-ray and found what may be a partial obstruction. They are giving him barium right now to verify if it's an obstruction or not. He'll call me with the results and of course if it is an obstruction, he'll need surgery.

[cyber-sibes]

Sounds like they're making progress. I'm still praying for Chipper. You & Andy are his angels, Kim!

[lizbud]

Oh Kim, you must be so worried about Chipper. I would too. I am
however, very glad he is in the care of caring, knowledgeable people.
Thanks for keeping us all updated on him. Prayers & positive vibes going
out to you both. ((Hugs)) Liz, Smokey & Maggie.

... found what may be a partial obstruction.

... of course if it is an obstruction, he'll need surgery.

A ONE TIME Obstruction and a quick surgical "fix" sounds good to me!
Let's pray for that!

I'm really glad you guys decided to "find out what's wrong" rather than "wait" till Thursday!!
Hopefully the "what's wrong" will be definitive and suggest a positive and permanent solution.

Give The Boy a gentle {{{Hug}}} when you get to see him.

Kimmy & Andy,

I'll keep Chipper in my prayers. I just said a prayer that the white coats find whatever is ailing poor Chipper and fix him ASAP. I thanked God that He put you both and Chipper together so that he could be helped and then loved forever and ever with you, Kia and the others.

The 'good' news about an obstruction is that it *usually* is an isolated incident. After he's treated, he'll be OK. If its IBD, or Ulcerative Colitis, it can be treated with special food and some medications to help with his symptoms.

Either way, whatever they do and/or find, Chipper will remain in my prayers for a quick recovery and the happy home he so deserves with you both.

Hugs & Love,
Kelly and Kitties

[luvofallhorses]

I hope it's just an obstruction and nothing too serious. something that they can fix.

[RedHedd]

Oh Kimmy! My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours that it's a simple fix. Poor Chipper!

[Cinder & Smoke]

They are giving him barium right now to verify if it's an obstruction or not.

He'll call me with the results ...
