That's when I called the vet back and asked about how much fluid I should be getting into him and was told 10 ml. per hour! That's so much for a 6.6 lb. dog, to me!

This has just panicked me a little more - he's trying to play, growling playfully at me and very alert, tail up, ears up, far different than he's been all day! Got his chewie that he hides and is playing around with it on the couch! Wonder if the Metro. is making him high or something. When I took Flagyl I felt weird the whole time I took it and maybe it's doing him the same way - giving him a false appetite and energy. Gosh! This is scary and terrible since I think it's false energy. Never seen one rally that fast. First he ate too much for his tummy/bowel in the state they are likely in and now he's played!

While I was typing this he came and lay down on my legs so maybe that phase is past. Going to be watching him closely and if he has another stool soon, I'll probably run up to Albertson's and get that Kao if they have any. I wish I had asked the vet before they closed but with Lisa and Crystal both of you telling me it should be okay, I feel way better. Ohhhhh, this has been a bad, bad day and a half. Scary times.

Thank you, ladies, for the prayers. We both need them. My stomach is even cramping and hurting some now. Ugh!

Deep breaths.
He will be ok. Diet will be a life long headache, but you'll get it figured out.
How about cooking for him?

Yes, it is ok. I specifically asked my vet for you.
