Cooper sick again?

[Martha & Cooper]

Cooper has us worried.   He has lost a little over 4 lbs in the past 6 weeks.  Had another seizure.   Seems lethargic a lot of the time.  When I talked to his Dr. today, she suggested that I bring him in for the weight check after I mentioned that he was only eating once a day instead of twice now.  That's how we found the weight loss.  She wasn't in the office, so they called her and we scheduled an appointment for next Tues.   I don't think it is a emergency situation, but I do agree that he needs to be looked over again.  :-(

UPDATE:   Tuesday evening.   Cooper saw his Vet late this afternoon.   He lost almost another 2 lbs since Friday, so that makes almost 6 lbs.   He is also running a fever.   Other than that the examination was unremarkable.  She decided to run a complete blood panel on him.  We should have that back tomorrow and will call me as soon as she gets the results.   So for now, she is treating the fever with an anti-inflammatory and shot of antibiotics just in case he has an infection.  Will pick up more antibiotics in the morning, if warranted.

At least he's staying hydrated. I know the days must be dragging for you until Tuesday. :-(

Hoping the meds help him feel better and you get good results on the blood work. Thinking of you both.

Thanks Karen.

Sorry to hear about Cooper. It is always scary when our dogs don't feel well. I hope it all gets figured out and he is better in no time.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sick baby.  Will he chew ice?  I'm sure you are so worried!  Please keep us posted as to what the test results bring and I pray it's nothing too serious & he can get better quickly.

Sorry to read this and hopefully the blood work will give answers and he will feel better soon!  Hugs and prayers to you and Cooper.

Fingers crossed that the bloodwork gives you some answers and good answers!  Keep us posted.  Hugs to Cooper!
