Leo did get to come home tonight!

The good news is that he looks so much better and is behaving like he feels better. He was walk around a little and laying on the floor with the kids.

Leo did not have any more vomiting or diarrhea today! Thank God. He did finally go potty on his own, this afternoon. I think he was a little confused without his potty pad... He finally decide to pee on a towel they had in with him. He did not eat today for the staff at the vets office. So, they were hoping if they sent him home we would have more luck.

The kids and I, spend the evening try to get Leo to eat and drink. We are only allowed to give him this 'special food' they gave us. Poor Leo was so disappointed!! I asked him; 'do you wanted dinner' & then tried to give him "his food from the vet". He literally turned up his nose and walked away. I have to admit it doesn't look good and it smell terrible. My DD was able to get him to nibble a little by hand feeding him the same with a little water. Good News-- is he didn't get sick from the little bit that he did eat and drink.

I will update tomorrow after we see the vet.

I'm so glad it isn't parvo. It sounds like he's feeling better and I truly hope he recovers with no more incidents.

Lucy had a stomach upset recently and my vet told me to give her plain rice with nothing in it but low sodium chicken broth. She loved it and now wants it all the time!

Yippeeee!!!!!!

So what do they think it was? HGE? Or just a "bug" of some sort?

Either way, it's terrific news!

Ladymom · 11-13-2008, 07:09 AM

You said your daughter has Rotavirus. Have you mentioned this to your vet?

Apparently dogs can get Rotavirus and it is thought to be transferable from humans. Although it's usually only puppies who get it, it does seem coincidental that your daughter has it, too.

I did mention it to both the vet and the pediatrician. The both agree that they were not related.

We had been on a cruise the week before and that is were my DD got the rotavirus. While we were gone our dog was boarding...his very first time...and probably his last. We think he "caught a bug" at the boarding facility. But we will never know for sure.

yorkiepuppie · 11-13-2008, 09:21 AM

so glad to hear that leo is doing better. thank you for the update.
i hope he gets to eat something yummier soon!

abaddon248 · 11-13-2008, 09:30 AM

I glad leo is getting better! ..the vet food does smell really bad! lol is that the one is good for cat and dogs?

momof4CA · 11-15-2008, 01:57 PM

Sorry, I haven't updated in a few days. I have just been so busy with taking Leo back and forth to the vet.

Leo went beck to the vet on Friday morning. He is doing so much better! We just have to keep feeding him 4 small meals a day and make sure he is drinking enough water. As long as he is doing okay with this, he can be at home with us!

Yeah!

Poor Leo has a terrible...rash...

on his bottom & the underside of his tail, from all the diarrhea he has had. They have given us some medications to put on it. The vet thinks it will go away in a few days.

Unfortunately, Leo's nice long coat....that my children have been working so hard on...on is ruined. They had to shave down a large areas around his bottom and most of his tail, because it was so matted with poop.

They also had to shave down his back right leg and a portion of the front leg for the iv's. I explain to the children: that we are grateful that Leo is feeling better...no matter what! His coat we can always go back. I think they have accepted that a puppy cut is in Leo's...very near... future! I personally look forward to it.

Since, I am the one that does a majority of the bathing and brushing.

My DH can home last night.

He was so shock by the appearance and behavior of Leo. He could believe that the dog he was seeing...was FEELING BETTER. He said, "Leo much have really been really bad off!"

I better run I had to pick up the house...we have company coming later.

I will post an date again tomorrow.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support this week.

I really needed it!

momof4CA · 11-17-2008, 10:04 AM

Leo is doing so much better! He is almost himself again.

I called the vet to let them know how good he was.

The medication for his bottom worked wonders. I can not believe how fast his bottom healed!

Today he was allowed to eat a little of his own food. He is a happy puppy.

The Vet says that by the end of the week it would be safe for him to go to the groomers.

zoeybear · 11-17-2008, 02:24 PM

Glad to hear he is doing better. You will love the puppy cut. Both my girls had a bald leg from getting spayed. We called it their "chicken wing" It grows back pretty fast tho'
