| Still no improvement and he's just wanting to sleep today. I am force feeding him water and pedialyte. He refused baby food, cottage cheese, and chicken and rice today so far. I'm laying off the food and just concentrating on fluids. My daughter's friend works at Scout's vet's office and even came by to see him today. She is arranging for him to be seen first thing in the morning. I'm basically going to show up when they open. I really think he needs IV fluids. He will get up a pitter patter around for a few minutes and use the pee pad (thank goodness he's still peeing-I know I'm getting somewhere with the fluids). I will update you when I get back from the vet tomorrow-I've already called into work for my sick "child".

| Tmatherly -- A dog can go for a long time without food (and, of course, they will get thinner and lose some weight - but it really isn't as lifethreatening as you might think. Wild animals often go days without food - simply because they can't find any, and people can go some 30 days without food. But, water is a necessity - and you have to keep water down him. Even we (humans) can go only a few days without water before we run into serious problems. Personally - if he really has some sort of a stomach problem right now - forcing food down him may not be what you should be doing. I know one of my dogs was sick once, and the vet said that he'd eat when he was ready and not to worry --he said my dog didn't feel like eating and needed to let his upset stomach rest for a while and take a break. And, I remember my mother - no matter what was wrong with us, she made us eat. And you guessed it - we promptly threw it up. Even the doctor then said not to force food down us and that we'd eat when we're ready. Again - my advise would be not to try and force food down him. His not eating is really not his problem. Whatever it is that is making him feel this way - is what needs to be found out and addressed. Back to the vet - right? Keep working on the fluids....even a few drops of water now and then will be very helpful. Good luck - Keep in touch. Carol Jean |

| Thanks Carol Jean. You are right, and exactly what I've been thinking too...he will eat when he's hungry. I've been dropper feeding water and pedialyte (more water...he hates the pedialyte) all day and first thing tomorrow he's going back to the vet. Right now, he's actually perked up a little and looking out his favorite window to bark at people. I never thought I would be happy to hear him bark his head off at someone!!

| Well, here it is almost 1 oclock in the morning, and I am up with my little man. I was so excited at about 10:00pm he went over to the water bowl by himself and had a drink...I was thinking...yayyyy! Finally a turning point. We went to bed and as I was getting ready to climb into bed, Scout came over and stood right by my leg real quiet like. I was talking to my husband about where the remote control was and suddenly I hear him fall-collar jingled on the ground, he staggered to get back on his feet and I realized he was vomiting. Poor guy had slipped in it. We cleaned it up and I tried to get him to go in his bed and he finally did. About 20 minutes later we smell this horrific smell and my husband says, I think Scout finally pooped. I turned on the light, little Scout just wobbling around, but no poop. I took him to the potty pad-nothing. I went to the kitchen to get a drink, he follows, hovering near my feet, then squats and out comes this weird looking jelly-like substance. I immediately think, OMG he has a bowel obstruction because that's what kids do when they have one (I am a pediatric nurse). Then he has this blow-out poop, part solid part liquid and LOTS of it. I'm thinking, whew...ok...maybe not a bowel obstruction.Maybe he had an Ileus? I guess I better let the vet decide... Poor little guy had to have a bath and he's feeling so lousy. He trembled for awhile afterward-this is the reason I'm still up. He's sleeping quietly now with no trembling. Im thinking we can go to bed. Still going to the vet in the morning. Sorry to be so long, just need to release my anxiety!

| Poor little guy! He should have felt better after all of that. Please let us know how it all goes at the vet! Hope he is feeling better soon! Maybe you both can get a nap when you get home from the vet's office! I know you are exhausted worrying about him!

| TMatherly - Me again - I'm glad your little pup is starting to feel better. I've had sick little dogs before - and we sure all do worry when this happens. But sometimes, they just get sick for a few days and get over it like we do. Carol Jean |
