Jasper (12 yr old Mini Schnauzer) is now at peace

Hoping and praying this is just a tummy bug and Jasper is much better when you see him at lunch. Let us know how things are and remember we are with you and Jasper all the way.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

I'm am so sorry Tina. Those tummy issues are so exhausting and bothersome. They worry us so. :o Poor Jasper! I hope he's back to normal soon.

We worry so when we have to go to work and leave them. I will pray for you both, of course. Hang in there Tina......

Tina,
I am crossing my fingers and hoping that Jasper has only a minor tummy upset and when you come home at lunch time everything will be okay! I am really glad to hear just one episode of vomiting! I know exactly how you feel! You just get that sinking feeling when this stuff starts up. Keeping the rice down for 30 minutes is a really positive sign too, also that he wanted to eat it is good. Hoping you'll post that Jasper had an uneventful morning and that whatever this was that it's passed. The metrod. will definitely help the diarrhea right away. Positive thoughts going your way!

You and Jasper are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs, Lori

Oh Tina,

I am praying it is just a tummy bug and the metronidazole will set Jasper right. I will wait with you sweetie. I know that feeling not being able to miss work and it sucks big time. I'm at work now but will keep checking in.

BIG HUGS

Thinking of you Tina. Hope Jasper was ok at lunchtime xxxx

Tina, I am here, too! Anxiously awaiting word about our little boy.

Hoping that everything is ok Tina!

Thanks guys. No messes in the kitchen and I just let him out and he didn't poo. No evidence that he has vomited either, which is even more of a concern. Yay! :) I was pretty worried because right before I left for work he had another small nasty poo. I also decided to give him his Dexamethasone this morning in a ball of rice, and he spit the whole thing out on the floor. Earlier he had eaten the 1/4 cup of rice just fine, and seemed hungry. I finally got him to eat it, but he clearly was not enthused. I wanted to make sure he got the Dex so we hopefully wouldn't have any cortisol issues.

I gave him another 1/4 cup of rice just now and he seemed more interested. Hopefully the metronidazole is working its magic! He seems a little mopey, but not as bad as I have seen him in the past. So maybe I have nipped it in the bud.

I have to go back to work now but I am certainly not working super late today like I have been all week. I want to make sure I get home in time to get him to the vet if something is wrong then.

I will check back in once I am home. Thank you all so much for the positive thoughts and encouragement, I think they are working! I sure hate to leave him, he looks quite needy. :o

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Dogs are like men when they don't feel well, lol.
Im glad that he's improving!
