Thank you for your sweet words! They help so much.

Got Tibbe to eat again a few soft kibbles, waited 45 mins and went to the pharmacy. Gave him the Metronidazole 20 mg. per 1 ml. liquid - 1 ml. by mouth and very shortly after let him eat another 12 soft pieces of kibble so that drug won't hit his tummy so hard. He would have eaten more but too scared of nausea. Watched several CPR videos and read our YT CPR instructions too about small dog CPR and read about it some other sites. I reviewed all the pulse points and where the heart is and all that. Got my rates down. Now, if he just won't get sick or have any bad reactions or anything, we should be okay until the next dose.

One of his tricks he does in training is "Make a Happy Tail" and he will cock his tail way way up high for praise/treat. He's carrying it out straight today but he did get it up pretty far when I asked him to make a happy tail. Normally his tail is always pretty well-cocked up but I did teach him to do that when it's down and he's acting fearful. It always seems to help him work through his fear of the moment to get that tail up. Now today when he's sick, he even did it for me a little bit. Sweet boy.

This is where it gets too real - have to now call and schedule his test. Whew! Here goes.
