I did get to bring him home and I couldn't be happier right now that he was so strong and pulled all through this. Although the vet really doesn't know what happened, she thinks it may have something to do with the fact that I switched his food on him too soon and gave him a tummy ache where he became dehydrated and his blood sugar dropped. He was put on fluids and was looking better but then developed an infection from his IV which wasn't caught for a couple of days and when it finally was treated, he started to perk back up a little bit. He is home with me as of Friday and eating quite a bit on his own, although it's still not enough and I have to syringe feed him every now and then. He's getting better little by little and becoming the little puppy I first brought home. He's such a little fighter though and I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers from everyone. I really think they made a noticeable difference. I took him back for a check up this morning and the vet said he is looking much better. His hydration and temperature are great. He lost a little weight from when he left the vets office, but he has been a little more active than he was there so that could account for a little weight loss. I guess I'll just need to keep feeding him every couple of hours and hopefully he'll regain everything he lost plus some. Thanks again for your concerns!! |
