Feeling better

08.08.09 I am finally feeling much better!! I had a rough couple of days and am glad to be home. I still wasn't feeling too good on Thurday, so I had to go to the doctor. Since I had been so sick, I had to get a fluid injection (under my fur) for dehydration. It looked like a giant water-balloon under the fur on my back. I got some medicine that I was told to take 2 times a day. One of my pills was the size of a 1/2 dollar! I was also supposed to start a very bland diet, to help my tummy get better.


After being home for about 4 hours, I started feeling really yucky again. I didn't have any energy, it hurt to stand up and I couldn't stop shaking. Mom and Dad immediately said that I had to go back to the doctor. Well...my doctors office was closed, so I had to go to the hospital. They told me right away that I needed to get an I.V. and would have to stay overnight. Cynrae was very sad to leave me there, but the doctor let her go back and see where I was going to sleep.


After some x-rays, pain meds, I.V.'s and special food, I was ready to go back home. They did see something in my stomach on the x-ray, but it didn't seem to be a problem. Looks like I have a bacterial infection. When everyone came to pick me up, I was SO EXCITED to see them. The fluids they gave me made me feel so much better. I came home and have been more of a puppy than I've ever been! I have so much energy! I am trying to remember the rules at home too...being gone for 24 hours is enough time to forget a few things.


Here I am after I came home. The pink bandage is where I had my I.V.
