Sick As A Dog
Mon Jan 03 2005

Rocky is decidedly under the weather. This dog, who under normal circumstances is a passionate eater (to say the least) has shown no interest in food since yesterday, and has been extremely lethargic. He is still drinking, but he will have nothing to do with food.

Today he went into the vet, and we should hear by tomorrow what is going on with him. While I haven’t seen him get into anything that would cause any typical issues, a little voice in the back of my head is suggesting the possibility of a blockage. This same little voice has been walking me through the surgical procedure needed if no other way can be found to make the offending object pass.

I’m keeping my fingers, eyes and toes crossed that he just has a case of the doggy flu, but we won’t know until the x-ray and blood work comes back. Until then, we wait.

    I hope Rocky is going to be alright. You sure have bad luck with pets.

    Is Rocky drinking lots and lots and lots of water?

    Happy New Year, Alli!
    What a sad way to start out the new year,
    poor dog.
    I hope it is just the flu and nothing serious.
