Ha, ha, Maggie definitely likes using and abusing her big brother. Lol.

Don't know how I missed the Nature Logic part. I tried to give Rosie Natures Logic because where I was buying the Instinct was really pushing it. It tore her tummy up. She was so sick that is when we ended up at the vet and switched back to the I/D. Just a thought...

hmm, that was the only different thing that he was given. I am not going to give them it any more.

Hot Rod seemed better this moring so I kept my appt and was gone for about 3 hours. When I got home he was up and around and greeted me somewhat excitedly but not as per usual. I checked his gums and they were okay but he was still not 100%.

Long story short, he was shaking slightly again. Had not gotten to get Nutrical yet as traffic around here is horrible for the holiday, we on the direct path to the beach and traffic was started to back up when I left at 8:00 am.

It tookk hubby 1/2 hour to drive 5 miles home from work! I will go once traffic slows down in a bit.

Anyhow vet was closed but she called me back and told her about yesterday and she said to give him more syrup and a small amout of ground beef (he is allergic to chicken) and rice and see if he continues to shake and check gums. If he still exhibited signs, call her right away. Although he was shaking, he was still active, when hubby came home he got all excited and greeted him.

anyhow, this was @ 1:00 and since then, he's as though nothing was wrong, barking when hubby dropped something against the wall in the garage and going after maggie over it, -does this all the time and he even went to his normal food and ate some. I picked it up right away and gave him the beef and rice and he gobbled it up. Now he's wagging his tail and running.

Have taken him out twice but nothing, just peeing. Each time we came back in he drank water.

His gums are normally not pinky pink, they are on the lighter side so that's why I couldn't really tell, but then last night they seemed to be greyish white.

So far at 3:00 he's run around the house and now he's sleeping on my desk as I'm typing. He has not shaken at all since the karo and food. I will give him some more food in 15 minutes as it was only like a 2 tablespoons of food earlier. So still keeping an eye on him but I think the worst is past.

I am wondering if his glands are bothering him. It's been about 4 1/2 weeks since they've been done.

I am sorry to hear Hot Rod is feeling under the weather. I hope it is nothing more than a upset system and he is feeling better soon.

[mimimomo]

hmmmm, It could be the anal glands...Mimi needs them done about every 2-3 weeks & afterwards she'll have the biggest bowel movement ever lolll.

U know, Princess was never able to digest raw carrots. She would get a little speck of blood & some mucousy poop after eating them. Maybe Hot Rod might have a sensitive digestive tract like her.

The shaking thing might be because he wants his mommy to baby him. I'm not kidding you, Mimi used to do it to me & I'd make such a big fuss over her thinking she had low blood sugar or something spooked her. But she'll be fine when she sees grandpa a minute later, wagging her tail & bringing him her fav toy to play. hahaa

If he's eating his food, I don't think you need to give him anymore karo. Don't want him sugar crashing either. Hope Hot Rod will be back to his normal self very soon!

Just seeing this now. Well, I would not be comfortable with this situation without a vet exam and basic blood work. I hope he feels ok tonight.

[Maximo]

Sending well wishes to Hot Rod and praying that he is 100% soon.

[Princes mom]

Please give Hot Rod a kiss for us; I hope he feels better soon.

[YorkichonBella]

Sending kisses too, Hot Rod. Mommie's watching you with loving care.

[Britster]

I am just seeing this! Was out of town all weekend.

Poor guy. I hate to see them not feeling right when you are unsure what to do for them. Maybe his tummy was just bothering him.

I am glad he sounds as if he is on the mend! Keep us updated.

Keeping Hot Rod in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping he feels better soon.

[Mom to Hot Rod]

I am so sorry for not updating. I was going to and then time got a way and so on and so on. I have a video but was trying to get it onto youtube and can't figure how to do so from my phone...it's showing how the little devil is feeling better and being fiesty.

thank you all for your prayers and sweet comments and concerns. It definitely helped and thankfully he's all better.
