He said to give Louis 1 tbs of boiled chicken and rice later on tonight. He told me that if Louis doesn't show any improvement by tomorrow morning to bring him in to have blood work done. (He told me to call either way to let him know how Louis is doing, which I thought was nice.) The last time I weighed Louis he was 6lbs, 8ozs. Today he only weighed 5lbs. 8ozs. Poor guy. I can't believe he lost one pound!  As soon as we got home Louis ran to his water bowl and got a drink. Another good thing! Thanks again for everyones advice and encouraging words! |
Louis has lost a pound -- oh no! I'm glad he wanted to drink his water. Hope he recovers quickly.
Did the vet indicate the reason for so many patients with diarrhea and vomiting?
