| JoeJoe's Not feeling Well Today Woke up this morning at 7 this morning to check on JoeJoe and bring him potty but for once he wasn't awake and jumping around. He was laying on his side and kept looking at me. I picked him up and he felt a little wet on his chest. I assume he must of threw up last night so he must of had low blood sugar. I grabbed his Nutrical and gave him some and got a syringe and gave him some pedialyte and then some water. And then I put him down so he could eat his breakfast. He seemed perfectly fine after that and was his normal self during his bath in the sink. He even scratched at the door when he had to go potty. It's been awhile since the last time he's had an episode where he's been like this in the morning. But now he's sneezing and i can't figure out what to do. It started after he came inside from his potty break and has been on and off since. Has anyone had this happen to them and their fur baby before? I know it's not a cold but it seems strange that everything is happening all at once. He is so small so i just want to make sure he's alright. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Did He eat his dinner last night? Maybe if you aren't already doing so a little snack before bedtime to help prevent a low sugar episode. Sometimes Cali has sneezing episodes and I never know what started it off. Hopefully he will be fine soon.

JoeJoe Loves his dinner and never misses it, including last night. He seemed very tired today and his eyes started to water quite a bit. We decided to skip the puppy social that was tonight, so we just stayed home with him and he lay on my lap. He doesn't seem to feel well still. We usually give him some nutrical a carrot and his bully stick before he goes to bed. What sort of snack do you recommend? I called the vet and he said if he still acting the same way tomorrow and the sneezing continues to bring him in tomorrow. | |

| After 2 days of vet appointments we've come to the point that JoeJoe is off to see the specialist today to do another ultrasound. His blood work came back that although he hasn't shown much of the low energy signs of anemia, he is in fact highly anemic. The vet said at only 13 weeks old he is showing high signs of a major internal infection that his body is trying to fight. He has lost 3 ounces in two weeks which is rough on my little guy since he is still under a pound and a half. I haven't gotten to spend much time on here since i've been keeping an eye on him. He seems healthy to the eye besides the sneezing and occasional morning fits, he's as hyper's any puppy during the day and eats well, so I am just hoping this unknown will pass... I have spent a lot of time at the church to ease my thoughts so i am hoping that the ultrasound will give us a clear idea of what could possibly going on. As a college student in the middle of moving apartments and also starting my senior semester of school I'm running on a tight budget and am looking for outlets to help supplement my income just in case he has to go through some major treatments after the ultrasound. We have been pre warned by the vet, so now i'm looking into taking another part time job just incase. Poor little JoeJoe has no idea whats going on with on with himself and my boy seems like a fighter, so I hope this too shall pass. Just releasing the stress i'm feeling. -_- |

| Not yet. I have heard and read bad reviews on them so it is in the middle right now. I decided to borrow money from my mom to pay for the upcoming vet bills and the ultrasound since i get paid on friday. And then from there she has also offered some long term support if necessary since she also loves Joejoe as much as a grandmother would her grandchild and my best friend has also offered to help since she has also fallen in love with him in the past weeks. All the support from them has eased my mind since earlier so im feeling much better now, especially after JoeJoe ran all around the house today chasing his tennis ball. His appointments at 3 so fingers crossed its nothing too serious. |

| Fingers crossed! I have the same support as well. If I were you, check out the website. Read their terms and decide for yourself.
