Guest Vinnie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I just saw this thread - how very scary for you and your family. So glad that Dude is coming home and we think Gramma's are the best with sick and recouperating puppers. We did some pupper sitting over the holidays and one of Gracie's slumber party buddies stopped eating for two and a half days - we tried everything, liver, beef, steak, chicken, liver even prime rib - I finally got him to eat when I was eating some crunchy homemade peanut butter cookies and he came up and waited for me to share with him. biggrin.gif laugh.gif biggrin.gif You might try something unusual for him but that he always pays attention to when you eat it! I wish you luck as we know how scary it is when they don't eat for so long. Lots of prayers and continued healing thoughts for your baby. We are glad to have you back here on the site especially after everything you have been through now and recently. Please keep us updated and maybe add some of your favorite photos so we can help to continue to "see" him healthy while we are sending up our prayers.

silverfish Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What a wonderful thing to read for the first post of the day! I have just opened up GT and went straight here to see how Dude was doing - and I see he's not only home, but eating and drinking tons! YAY for Dude! And Yay for the vets, vet techs, you, and 'Grandma' and everyone else who is so dedicatedly helping your big guy recover. I'm so happy to hear the good news!

Guest vahoundlover Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 DUDES HOME!!!!! ...I got to the vets and went over everything with him...he said we're not out of the woods yet but he's definitely turned the corner....he goes back Friday for a checkup and sooner if we have any questions at all....we left the vet about 3:45 and had him at grandma's house by 4...he went straight in and put his front paws on her futon....he's having a difficult time getting his back paws off the ground to go up the couple of stairs on the porch and to crawl onto the futon so we're using a sling to help with his back end....anyway he went up on the futon and laid down and settled right in...my mom took his water bowl to him and offered it...AND HE DRANK THE WHOLE BOWL....so next we offered a hotdog with his antibiotics in it...he wolfed it down...so I fixed him a bowl of kibble with his favorite canned food in it and HE ATE THE WHOLE THING IN NO TIME FLAT....as of tonight my baby is resting comfortably at grandma's house...he's gone out a couple times to potty....and is pretty worn out now...to be expected after the long day he's had...this is the most activity he's done in a week...he'll be getting daily massages to help with the stiff muscles...and lots of loving....and of course his antibiotics and ointment for the multiple bedsores....I spent the evening at my mom's with him and every move I made he had his eyes glued to me...he wanted me right by his side....and even lifted his chin for scritches at one point and did his little moaning thing when I scritched him....and when he went to sleep before I left he was relaxed and wolfing and chasing furry bunnies in his sleep...MY BIG BOY IS HOME!!!!! Words can't express how happy I am Dude is home, eating and drinking!!! Thank you doG!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
