ceeby and the Vet
 

ceeby seemed to be alright this morning except for not eating. I took him on in to the vet after he had diarreha once. He said his temperature is a little elevated and he might have tapeworms because he has fleas. (which we are treating). He has intestional virus. Thank God he is not dehydrated thanks to the pedialyte we have given him every hour since wednesday. He got a shot ofr tapeworms and a dose of antibotics and some for me to bring home. He also got a can if ID prescription food that is for intestional upsets. he still is not eating but he has been playful and active this morning. It is his regular nap time right now so he is sleeping in my lap. Thanks for the prayers. Oh, I almost forgot. Remember when I first got him and "bragged" that he would be tiny and upset some of you. LOL Not to worry, he weighed 2.6 at the vet. Looks like I amy just have myself a "teapot". Just goes to show you how inaccurated the growth charts are. At twelve weeks, he only weighed 1.7 which put him at under three pounds when grown. He is only four months old so I figure I am looking at a six or seven pounder at least. Maybe more. But that's alright. He is my baby even if he does become a teapot.

LOL!!! My Bentley was supposed to be about seven pounds full grown but he didn't "obey" the weight charts either!!! The little teapot stinker :p

So glad to hear Ceeby is doing better!!! Thanks for the update! Hopefully he will get his appetite back today as well!!!

I've been reading you post and so glad he is doing better.

thanks
 

thanks to both of you that replied. it is great to have friends such as all of you here on the board. Everyone just worries right along with you and then rejoices when a baby is better. This site is wonderful.

Happy to hear Ceeby is better!
 

Hooray, Ceeby! Keep getting stronger, little buddy!

Glad he's getting diagnosed.

Ceeby, I'm happy you're feeling a bit better. Now, get to eatin'! :D

Glad he is doing well! I hate fleas! :mad:

I am so glad he has you as his mommy and you are being so persistent in geting him well. :thumbup:

i am persistent alright and I am fixin to call my vet back or take him right back up there. I was trying to remember when he ate last and it was last night about ten oclock. I am still giving him Nutracal and pedialyte. But the weekend is coming up and I don't want to wait.

So glad to hear this! That little stinker gave everyone a scare. I don't see him getting over 5 1/2 - 5 3/4 lbs. Best of luck to Ceeby!

Thanks Kimberly. Just when I think he is getting beter then he slids back a little. I nearly had to strangle him (just kidding) just now to get the Nutracal down him. Cannot no way in heck get the pedialyte down him now. i am so nervous trying. My hubby is on the way home right now to help with him. But the vet said this morning that he is not dehydrated. he ate a few bites about nine or ten last night and nothing since. I have a feeling he is going back to the vet before closing time and probably in the hospital. I will keep updating.

Oh, Ceeby...2.6 pounds!! I bet he was more than that before he got sick. I have a little leather collar Scout outgrew that I was going to send to him...it might not fit Ceeby too long either! I sure hope he gets better soon, I'm sure you are very nervous with him being sick so long. I know you are longing for normalcy. DO keep us updated. :-)

he is nearly 100 percent well today. His little sweater still fits. can you believe how much he has grown? I am in shock. But on the way out of the vet I looked at the scale and already had .4 on it and i questioned the nurse and she said if it is against the wall (from big dogs scooting it) it doesn't read right. it is hard for me to believe. his little back still doesn't look like it is over two inches wide and you can feel every bone in his little body. thanks for the offer of the collar but he has one. Not that I can get it on him, of course.

I am so glad to hear he is doing so much better! :)
