He's eaten two good helpings of chicken and rice and is currently standing on my coffee table barking at - something. It looks like he had some sort of little stomach bug and he's moving in the right direction! |
Awesome news. Yes, elevated hematocrit is indicative of dehydration which can happen quickly as I mentioned before. That is why I never let a pup go without food for over one day and I always check their gums and skin whenever they are not feeling well. Often they can crash quickly as they are small and don't have a lot of reserve.
SO happy for you and Knox!
