For the love of my dog...

Here you see a sick doggie. Here you see a spoiled doggie. Domino is sick with some kind of lower GI infection/bug/something that has not shown up in blood tests, x-rays or any other tests that have been run. This has not prevented him from being sick. He was at the vet all day yesterday and was doing well so they sent him home. He got up this morning sick again. So back to the vet he went. They wanted to keep him overnight, but because of his spoiledness we knew that he wouldn't rest and relax and that his stomach gets more upset when he's at the vet than at home so we went and got him and brought an IV home to put him on. He'll be on it all night so there'll be very little sleeping and he'll get anti-diarrhea medicine at 9 that should keep him well all night until he goes back to the vet in the morning.
The good news is that they can't find anything big and bad wrong. The suspicion is that he got a stomach bug that he just hasn't been able to shake. He was dehydrated and pooping and puking a lot. Hopefully we can rest his stomach for a few days and then he'll be right back to normal. And so will our lives. Oh, and today? Today I finally got the full fledged migraine I've been warding off for 3 days. I feel sorry for Chris. He really is a gem for dealing with a hurting, whiney, drugged up me and a pitiful spoiled rotten dog.


Hopefully things will be back to normal around here soon.

Okay, that top picture is just too good. Your dog, clearly lying in his own home, looking for all the world like one of those rich sick people who have the full set-up at home with their own private nurses.
Getting his fix. I know it's wrong, but some how so funny. Because it's a dog, instead of a rich eccentric.
Oh yes, a very, VERY spoiled dog.
