With a liver compromised, intestinally challenged pup, these symptoms will likely be life long.

Crystal, you always center me. I tend to go fly off in the worst case scenario at the drop of a hat where this dog is concerned but you are right, of course. I had read that somewhere but forgotten it and here is his first real bout since his bad symptoms in the spring and I'm panicking that he's maybe dealing with something awful. If it weren't for my eye and back, we'd already have been to the ER vet but I'm truly in such pain with this back and leg pain, and the eye constraints of taking it easy tonight and no straining, I'm forced into trying to nurse him through this tonight. If only we weren't out of Cerenia for nausea but we are! No diarrhea at all and he's not acting terribly sick or just standing in place with his little head hanging down as he did in the past when he was so nauseated before his diagnosis. I'm feeling better now - it's words from Crystal that can bring me down when I'm about to fly off into the stratosphere. I swear, I don't know how breeders or Ladyjane does it with several dogs sick at once - or even how I used to do it back in the day when I rescued and nursed any number of sick dogs at once - very, very ill and starving dogs, even. Something drastic happened to me once I lost Jilly and it wasn't good. I turned chicken. Ever since then, I'm scared to death when a dog is ill. Almost didn't get another dog due to just fear of losing it like Jilly! Now with Tibbe I'm a nut - worry endlessly about him. It's sillier than silly and I should start now to get a grip. As long as I have you all, maybe I'll make it without a breakdown over this dog and his problems!!!!!!! He's such a perfect little love and the thought of him being sick or suffering or losing him is just too much. He's such a part of me! We're on the same wave length on everything. He thinks of things before I do and predicts my every step. He's always there for me no matter what - always kind and caring. He's like a tiny little person!
He took 1/4 cc Pedialyte syringed in the side pocket of his mouth - afraid to try more the firs time - and just barked at the TV(good sign). Hasn't retched since 7:52 pm session! Will give him another 1/4 - 1/2 cc Ped. in 30 - 40 mins. if he keeps this down. It's almost 3 hours since he last retched!!! Progress!
Eye getting downright sharper than ever by now. The dilation and other meds have all worn off and all the cloudiness gone and that's when doc said the vision would really start to improve. Some floating things in the vitreous but was told those are normal from the surgery and resorb in time. Amazing results and last night I was so scared it wouldn't help! Prayer and a good surgeon and YT!!! Now if Tibbe just gets better!
