Oh, my dog!
I'm working from home today to keep an eye on Frankie, my dog. He's been having elimination problems. He's had diarrhea on/off since I started back to work. Last week it was black, and he didn't take a dump for four days (Thu-Sun). On Saturday, the vet had me take him off his pain/arthritis med (Metacam) since a side affect is GI bleeding, and put him back on anti-diarrhea meds (Flagyl and a probiotic) + something to help stop the GI bleeding (Sucralfate). Well, he's taken a dump twice in the last 24 hours, the most recent was actually formed, and black and brown, but he also just threw up. So the vet wants to see him. Soonest appt I could get today is at 4pm. I wish I could read Frankie's mind so I knew what was wrong and what I could do to make him feel better. I like to tease my friends with kids because my 'kid' will never ask to borrow the car or wreck said car. Well the down side of it is that he also can't tell me what is wrong and why he's feeling so bad. My poor little guy.

aw, poor Poops! I just can't believe how sick he is all the time! I wish he could talk to you too, but then you would know all of my secrets :P
ReplyDeleteI wasn't home when it happened, but he took a dump that started out black, but was mostly brown. When I got home, I got him to eat a little of a nectarine and some of his food (from last night and this morning). It's almost time for his 10:30pm round of meds....gotta go!
