Doggies, Doggos and Doggeroos!

We’re picking Fred up now! He’s doing a lot better!

 

[TribbleFeeder]

He’s okay!!!! He’s a tough cookie this little guy. He blesses my life every single day. I don’t think I would have gotten through early recovery had it not been for him.

You don't have to answer if it's too troubling, but I'm curious as to his ailment requiring the overnight stay.

 

[Sibyl]

Yay, Fred! Way to pull through!

I'm so happy for you both, Tribz!

So we started seeing blood in his stool a couple days ago and I got worried but I though maybe he ate something red or had been constipated or something. However the next day he was throwing g up blood too so we decided to take him to the animal hospital.

When they took a look at him and the stool they said it was hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. It’s a food born illness. They said they needed to pump him up with fluid so he doesn’t dehydrate. I just was so afraid it was parvo because that has similar symptoms.

Needless to say, Fred is very happy to be home

That looks like a comfortable sweater.

Whoa! Serious issues, then! Yeah, even if not a contagious disease (I had to Google "parvo"), dehydration in such a small animal is NOT something to be ignored!

I'm glad to read he's well enough to return home and that the both of you are doing better, him physically and you emotionally.

 

[TribbleFeeder]

Thanks so much @Redfern ! It was scary for sure.

He’s like my child. I don’t know what I would do without him.

If only it were a white cat it was stroking, that bulldog would come across like a canine version of Blofeld!

All of mine have been/are my kids.
If I didn't have theses dumb dogs, I could drive a Mercedes instead of a Subaru and live in a much nicer house.
But,
Have way less joy in my life.

So glad he’s home and better!

Pug, thinking, 'I'm not sure what's worse; the hangover or the belly ache from all the candy!"
