WHY ARE MY DOODS ALWAYS SICK?

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I just dropped Guinness at the Vet, and they decided to admit him at least for the day to run some tests. I feel like these guys are always sick, and it's making me crazy. I try so hard to do everything I can to keep them healthy, but it doesn't seem to be working. Guinness had an upset stomach on Tuesday, some vomiting and refusing food. I thought it was an IBS flare up, so I didn't worry to much. On Wednesday he seemed fine and wanted to eat again, so I gave him plain chicken and rice, and he held that down with no problems. Yesterday he stopped eating again, and was lethargic. This morning when he refused breakfast, I knew there was something wrong. He is a little dehydrated (although he has been drinking with a little coaxing). Now when the Vet sees me they "work up an estimate". Today's estimate is $600....this after $1000 for Murph a month ago. Thank heaven for pet insurance! So, I can't even imagine what's wrong with the "little Dood". I hate that I had to leave him there....he HATES being away from me. It's always something....this has not been a good week!

Jane, maybe something is going around. Clifford has been having some intestinal issues this week and we haven't figured out what the problem is. He started with a runny nose but now he's having issues at the other end even with pumpkin. I think I'll give him some chicken, rice and pumpkin for dinner and see if that calms things down. Hopefully Guinness will get rehydrated and be feeling like himself again soon and whatever nasty bug is in his tummy will go away...it's Guinness's turn to get some extra lovin' from mommy now. Clifford and I send good thoughts and some yummies to the little guy.

Jane, it will get better. I have felt the way you are feeling before. Get better soon Guinness :)

Oh no...so sorry Guinness is under the weather. Don't you wish they could tell us what bothers them when they aren't feeling well. Sending positive vibes for a simple little stomach bug and he'll be back with you before the end of the day. Yes, these vets are not shy about charging...I've never seen a statement that can add up so fast!

Chewie sending get well licks for a very fast recovery!
