He is supposed to have 3-5 days of fasting and treatment and since it is the holiday and the vet office is closed, my vet was nice enough to take my baby home with him.
The vet called this morning and said Bruiser is taking his treatment this morning and doing ok. They will continue his treatment and then take his blood on Tuesday and see if he is better...
I am scared to death. Bruiser is only 3 years old.
Has anyone else been through this and be willing to share their story with me?
Thanks!

Yes, my mother’s Yorkie had it 3 years ago, she was so very sick but we were able to take her home after they gave her a couple of shots and re-hydrated her. She fasted for a day, then ate boiled chicken and rice for a couple of days.
Lilly had eaten something that caused this, though no one was quite sure exactly what. My mom was very ill at the time and I would many times leave my meal on the table only to find that she had taken off with it, like once I had to wrestle my filet mignon away from her…. She ran under the bed and it was a tug of war! Anyway you have to be very careful what you feed them, no human food! What is good for us could kill them. I know many here do, but it is taking a real chance.
Also my ex-husband just lost his dog, a springer spaniel because he got into a friends garbage where there was trimming from all the steaks that had been cooked that weekend.
So I would caution everyone to be very careful what you feed your dogs. I hope your baby Brusier will be OK though things sound pretty good from what you have said. I know you are worried, that can’t be helped, I myself would be crazy by this time. So all I can say is that I will ad Brusier to my prayers that he gets well soon.
