Aww, Flynn snuggling with his Mum. So cute.
My two do sleep together ok for the most part, but sometimes Shelby gets wound up when I have to let Jasper out for his middle of the night pit stop and won't go back to bed. Then she has to go in her crate (with a comfy bed in it) for the rest of the night.
Nighty night Trish, sleep well.
How is Jasper doing today? Eating any better?
I am very glad to hear that your vet is on board to waiting for the rabies shot. It's just not worth the risk and worry when they are already dealing with other things to throw that into the mix too. It would be great if he didn't have to get it at all, but I guess the farm sort of leaves that possibility out.
It sounds like his labs weren't really all that bad, just the liver enzymes a bit off. Drat on the protein being 3+ grrrrrr :(
Hopefully that will go down when all this other stuff is over with and any UTI cleared up.

Hi Everyone,
Well, Jasper was plugging along, his eating was slowly improving but had not gotten back to normal quite yet, but was progressing over the weekend and Monday. Then Tuesday morning 5/6, he struggled a bit more with eating. After work he seemed kind of like he didn't feel well, seemed quiet and mopey, but he did eat fairly well. By that I mean that he ate pretty steadily, only walking away from the bowl a time or two, and he finished over a few minutes. But he continued to seem very subdued with low energy throughout the evening and night. Yesterday morning 5/7 he was the same, not perky, and back to not wanting to eat much. I did manage to get him to eat his breakfast slowly while I got ready for work, it took him a couple of hours to finish.
When I got home from work he was the same, not very perky, and I found that he had thrown up once sometime while I was at work. :( Thankfully just once, and it was partially digested food, not bile.
I called real quick to see if I could catch my vet and let her know, and also because she had not called back with his urine culture results or to check up on him, which is very unusual. I found out that she has been out due to her son being very ill and also some possible health issues herself. She does not work on Thursdays. I talked to one of the staff, and we talked about the option of bringing Jasper in and dropping him off in the morning to see another Dr if he became worse. I just can't miss any work right now.
He did the same with eating his supper last night, very slowly a bite or two at a time and he finally finished after over an hour. No more vomiting all evening thank God. I held his fish oil, enalapril and denamarin just in case.
He was quiet and not perky all evening, except for being anxious when we had a severe thunderstorm with hail and high wind roll through. Still no vomiting, yay!
We were just up for our middle of the night pit stop. He is very subdued, but is able to rest and has been sleeping.
I just don't know what could be wrong. His labwork on Saturday was mostly ok, the critical things were all WNL. I guess the pancreatitis worry is always there. I hope he will be ok Thursday, it is not optimum to see another vet. We are supposed to have some pretty wicked storms all day. I hate that so much and wish I could stay home with him like some of you are able to, especially since he seems to be not feeling well. But I have to work, I can't really even miss part of the day. :mad: :(
So I guess I will see how he does with breakfast in a couple of hours and go from there.
Thanks everyone.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper
Oh Tina, I am so sorry that Jasper is not feeling well. I know how worrisome and wearing it is for you. If only they could just talk and tell us what is wrong. :o
I'll be thinking of you both today, and hoping that he is doing better when you get home to him this evening.
Sending big hugs,
Marianne
Thank you Marianne, ((hugs)). Well today hasn't been a great day, it is the first day that I haven't been able to get him to finish his food, even over several hours. I guess we are going backwards with our progress. He is still very mopey and subdued, and just looks depressed or something. But no more vomiting that I could see, so that is a big relief.
I called earlier today and got an appt at 4:00 tomorrow with my vet. (I will have to leave work early so I hope it will be ok). I plan to call her in the morning and hopefully talk to her first about what has been going on, as she hasn't been updated since our appt last Saturday. Then she can decide if she needs to see him at 4 or not. I really don't know what she would do. I am wondering if maybe he has some mild pancreatitis going on, I will ask her about it in the morning. I'm feeling scared about that.
I am so upset about Squirt that I can't even think straight. :(
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper
Oh dear, I am so sorry that Jasper is not doing as well as we all hoped. I wonder about the pancrease too. Hopefully they can figure out what is going on and fix it.
I know this is another hard day on the forum. :(

Hi Tina,
We are all feeling helpless over Leslie and Squirt. We love them both so much!
We all love you and Jasper too! I am so sorry to hear that he's still feeling yucky and has lost his appetite. Poor little guy.:o Yes, it's scary when they are off and we don't know how to help them. I hope the doc is able to get him back on track quickly.
Big hugs my dear,
Hi Tina
I hope Jasper wakes up tomorrow feeling better and eats his breakfast. Are his poops OK? Teeth and mouth OK? Once when Flynny was off his food he had ulcers so worth having a looksee in his mouth. I will be looking out for your vet report tomorrow and hope to see good news. Get some good sleep tonight, and as for work... I am sure you can feel a migraine coming on that you need to go home early for :D xx
Hoping today finds Jasper feeling better and you too. I know this is very stressful for you and trying to juggle around work stuff is no fun either. I sympathize completely with that.
Let us know what the vet said and how he is when you get a chance.
hugs
