Hi again.
The crying has returned but NOT AS BAD.
They DID mention anal fissures (sp) They are going to be doing the test for that as soon as we can and then IF that is what it is they can fix it during his neutering and it will be less traumatic for him.
He is still acting great, still eating well, drinking well, and still puppy-like. The crying is not half as bad as before and he "voids" a lot quicker now, like he isn't as afraid anymore.
We went and got some Wellness Puppy today and some Wellness treats and are starting the gradual switch to that. We will still give him the Iams canned food but only like a tablespoon each time he gets the Nutri-Cal.
I should be hearing from the vet by Wednesday and we will be able to decide the next step.
I do know that he has gained about 5 ounces since that vet visit. So things are looking up.
We went to his breeders house today (like I said she is a family member) and she said he seems to be about like his dad. His dad was also a very small puppy and didn't gain much weight until about 6 months and then shot up to 3-4 pounds very quickly. She checked him over and said that he looked great to her size-wise.
I will just keep mommying him
and doing the best I can. He is our little fighter and he won't have to fight alone.
