Jack Got a House Call vist from Vet

[Jennifer and Jack]

I know I posted already about the final word on Jack and that the vet and the specialist feel very strongly that Jack has learned and  taken on, ( by his own doing) the job of "taking care of me" and right now I am pretty dang sick....

 

My very sweet and precious vet... decided that she was not going to have me bring Jack in any more. So she came out to my house. She is the owner of the whole practice.. She has several other vets that work with her, but she is the owner.. As busy as their practice is.. Not only did she come to the house, to check on Jack and I, she has called me every day and offered to go food shopping for me, To take Jack for a walk or to do anything I may need.

 

She does not live far from me but I am astounded by her kindness. Today, I found at my door step a big basket of stuff of easy to digest foods for me since I am having a  hard time.

 

So this is the part I am less then thrilled about... On her first visit to my house she brought me a big bag or Purina dog food kibble and a case of EN canned. It is especially made for dogs who are having GI distress.

 

I did not know what to say because she knows I am adamantly opposed to feeding my dog food that says animal by products, processed food and I stopped reading the label after that.

 

It had been over a week since Jack ate, oddly enough, it had been that long since I was able to hold any food down since starting treatment..Jack hardly takes his eyes off of me, and I mean hardly...he sits at the edge of the bed and stares at me.. it makes me uncomfortable.... but that is what he is doing.. every once in a while he will wander a way but then come running back look at me, lick my face or feet and go again...

 

So my amazing vet told me not to look at the ingredients and asked if she could give him some food that she brought.... I let her and he ate some...She even gave him his antibiotic and he took it for her....

 

The crap looks like coco puffs, You can see the artificial colors in it.. it looks like cheap cereal, the kind I Love to eat....  Jack has lost weight and he needed to eat.... since she brought that food, he is eating it.. Of course.. his poops are perfect. They also put him on Flagyl to help with the inflamed bowels.

 

She said I can re transition him back to his orijen slowly as things calm down for his stomach. 

 

I feel horrible letting him eat this crap food. Horrible, Lord knows what animal by products my dog is eating and I feel like I should be home cooking for him.. I just can't do it....

 

I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for my vet and all she is doing for us...So I hope I don't get kicked out of the food group... I am being a hypocrite and letting Jack eat the very food I have spoken so heavily against... but you know my main meals are crap too lately..and Mc Donalds and take in is much easier then trying to cook.

 

I guess we have to do what he have to do to get buy and this is the best we can do.  I am grateful he is eating.

 

I am most grateful that the vet I chose without knowing a thing was one of the most kind and compassionate person to animals as well as humans.

Take a deep breath.. LOL... You are so right, I met someone who gives their dog junk food and it is 17 years old, I suppose a few weeks is okay.. Plus he is eating so well.. must be that magical "animal by product" LOL

Jennifer and Jack you need to feel better soon.  What a kind vet you have to try and make things easier for you.  Take care!

[Jennifer and Jack]

Thank you

[Cindy M, Zachary & the Frenchies]

Jennifer what a wonderful vet you have, it seems like you and Jack are just on the same page again, you are eating a tad of junk food (McDonalds?) as is he. He needs to eat, and if your vet can help him with that while you are regaining your strength, better for both of you. You now know that when you are better, he will be better also. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

[Jennifer and Jack]

Thanks right now I have eaten wonton soup every day.. That is my new easy favorite...

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I pray that YOU get better soon and I think Jack will follow suit! Please take care of yourself!!!

[Jennifer and Jack]

Thank you for your prayers.. Much appreciated.

How wonderful, let me say you are really blessed to have a vet that cares about you and your dog. Ours won't even answer questions unless we stated it when we made the phone call, we've been searching for a good one and you found this woman and I wouldn't ask any questions. We as people know what food we shouldn't eat and still do. Short term it is ok for you and Jack. HE IS EATING and not starving so I think it's a blessing. He will get better and so will you and then you get back to your routines. Take care of yourself and your wonderful doodle will be better too. Hugs to you and Jack.

I would dumb that vet so fast. I mean I never expected my vet to be as awesome as she is... I actually just wrote a letter to the newspaper about her.... I would not tolerate a vet that was not there to help me give my dog the best care possible.

 

I am a new dog owner, Jack is my first and I have no idea what I am doing about anything.. Thank God for Dk.. and a Vet that is nice enough to let me act insane about Jack

[Phoebe's Mom]

You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful vet who not only wants to help you give the best care to your dog but who wants to help you as well.  That is priceless.  Please take care of your self and let this go--allow her to help Jack eat and start to feel better.  You will have a long life of good eating when you are both feeling better!

[Jennifer and Jack]

Thank you so mujch!!!!
