Rusty's not good

Maybe just an off day? Rusty is still in my thoughts and prayers.

I have no idea, he was fine, he was doing good. Now he doesn't want to eat (even steak.. which he hasn't ever refused), he hasn't eaten in 2 days. He only drinks water..
& lately he has been painting heavily all day long as if he just went out on a long walk.

We have to give him peptobismol now, because the medicine upset his stomach and he threw up all night on friday. He also won't take his medicine now ethier :/.

He might have to go into the vet again, in a few days if he doesn't start eating again and what not.

There are some things that shows him being normal again....but there is also unnormal things. Like he went outside today on the leash, and yesterday he acted slightly normal and happy when he saw my friends over.

Ugh, I really hope he gets better

I'm just guessing here ('cause I'm clearly no vet or anything close to it), but you said he lost his appetite and was breathing heavy and drinking lots of water? I'm wondering if maybe the meds you mentioned he was prescribed could have possibly made him thirsty and sorta druggy. Also, I've read that dogs can encounter thyroid problems which can make them lose their appetite and make them feel not motivated to do anything. And I remember when I gave Tatum benadryl for her itchy skin (my vet recommended it) it ended up making her stay up all night breathing heavy.

Hope this may help.

Well he's probably going to the vet again tommorow.

I will keep Rusty in my prayers.
