Monday Murphy Update

I HAVE GOOD NEWS! My Murph may be turning the corner, although I don't want to get too hopeful yet, because this also happened on Saturday evening, and then yesterday he was a mess again. I think that the additional medicine that the Vet prescribed yesterday is helping to relieve his symptoms. He's moving around much better now, which may be due to the anti-inflamammatory, and he ate his whole breakfast, which may be due to the anti-nausea/appetite stimulant. So this is all great news. He woke us up this morning and ran right to the kitchen for his food....he ate every single drop. Right now he's standing on the daybed barking at Guinness, and he's about ready to leap on him and take away his toy. I'm sure Guinness is thinking......He's baaack! Today was also the first day that he fought like crazy when we had to do the eye medications....the other days he was just too weak to fight it. So, I'm very encouraged by all of this. Today he may even get a little walk, and I have to get Guinness out to do something fun before that poor guy goes "stir crazy".

I'll keep you all posted. I have to talk to the Vet (an absolutely amazing, wonderful woman who I will forever have my gratitude) later this morning.

Thank you ALL again....Doodle Lovers Are THE BEST!!!!!!

What wonderful news. I was so worried about Murphy all day until I could get to my computer for an update. It will be interesting to see what the vet has to say...was it a tick bite? I always like to be able to close the loop on something so I am hoping this loop will be closed with a definite answer! Keep us posted and give Murphy a great big hug and kiss.
