He is home.
He was really excited when he ran out and saw me. My mom, stepdad and little sister came too. He was VERY excited! Went outside and peed right away a lot. He was pretty mellow on the car-ride but that's pretty typical. I held him and he stuck his head out the window a little bit which means he's feeling good!
Whew did his butt stink. I'm assuming his anal glands (I've smelled that smell before...) because he expresses them when he's scared, even when he gets his nails cut. He did have a bit of poop stuck to his butt too.
We walked in the door to our house and he was so happy to be home -- I could just tell. He peed a lot again when we got home, to be expected. I used a sponge and dog shampoo and tried to clean his butt as much as possible for tonight. It smells a little better... whew!
He was starving. I offered him his Purina E/N kibble and he ate it up! Not a lot... probably like 15 kibbles? He used to get 1/2 cup a day of TOTW and the vet said 1/3 of his usual diet... I'm pretty sure. Either way, it wasn't a lot.
This is going to be hard... he's basically his 'normal' self. Step-dad took out his quesidillias from the fridge to eat and Jackson was sitting right beside him, laying head on lap, just waiting for us to give him a piece. He clearly has no idea what caused this mess, LOL. Then he walked around the whole kitchen just sniffing the floor scrounging for food. This IS the dog with an ID tag that states 'Treat Monster'. *sigh* Oh, then he found a piece of a treat on the floor left over I suppose from the other day. One of those freeze dried liver treats, I pried open his mouth and took it out. He looked at me so confused, poor fella. But it's for the best and I am not taking any more chances.
He did try to play with his Orbee ball for about 3 minutes with me and bounced it around but he's pretty tired. I'm sure from just the whole ordeal, the sickness and everything. So he just went under my bed for some rest, which he does almost every night, so very typical of him. Oh he did just have the "hershey squirts" as my dad calls them outside but he's drinking water well and had a bit of food.
