Default Had a fair night, but he still isn't in perfect health

The little guy wants to eat more than he should, I guess from the days he did without food. I did drain and rinse the hamburger for his rice mixture while they had him. The vet said he could go back on his regular diet, but they were feeding him a canned rice mixture. I usually cook the rice/meat mixture whenever his sensitive stomach acts up. He had severe ulcers before he was 2 years old, so I take a conservative approach to food. Whenever his stomach is upset, he usually he gets venison, but I didn't have any in the house. He will go back on a "tiny dog" kibble as he recovers.

He had a couple spells last night where he woke up with a strange sucking sound, like he might vomit, but he never did. I'll monitor to be sure these are improving, not worsening. He's still sleeping a bit more than usual, probably because the body heals when sleeping.

We are keeping the feedings small, a teaspoonful three times about 20 minutes apart for breakfast, and I'll repeat that for supper. We will give him a spoonful as a snack after work and later in the evening.

Considering everything, he's doing well.
