Winston Update

The vet seemed to think that he possibly ate something that upset his stomach. I highly doubt this since we have been living in hotels for the past 3 weeks and keep all trashcans on the bathroom counter to avoid issues like this. I am hoping it is just from stress and all the changes he is having to go through right now (how sad is that).

When we took him to the vet we took a sample of what we found in the bathroom, still uncertain of what end it had actually come from. They weighed him (he has lost about 2 pounds in 3 weeks), took his temp (he was normal), and gave him a rectal exam (which came out completely empty...guess he emptied himself out on the bathroom floor). They decided to hook him up to an IV to rehydrate him and gave him two different shots. We got two different pills to give him- one for the diarrhea and one is an antibiotic. We were told to keep him from eating or drinking anything for 24 hours, which makes me feel like a bad mama!

He has been more active since we got back from the vet. For a while he just laid under one of the chairs in the hotel room, as if he were in trouble. I think he is scared he is going to get beat since he has been pooping in the "house". After a while he started playing with Charlie and barking at the people who walked by our room a little too loudly. Hopefully he will be back to normal tomorrow, especially since I am so worried about him being in the car by himself for 10 hours while we are on the ferry (plus can you imagine what our car would smell like if he wasn't feeling better!).

Thanks to all of you who were concerned about my furbaby!
