Bo Update

Bo is feeling much better today! Thank you to everyone who offered advise on how to help my little guy! Thank you all as well for the prayers that you sent Bo's way. We both really appreciated it! As usual you all were great!

I know Bo is "just" a dog and I've only had him for 2 months, but I love him so much and he has really became part of our family and is a HUGE companion for me. Bo has really helped me through a lot the last few months. I knew it was a weekend and that the ER vet would be expensive but I knew I would never forgive myself if something"bad" were to happened before the vet opened today. I didn't think he was really that sick but with everything that has happened to me the last 5 months I didn't want to wait and then have something be really wrong. I'm glad I went with my gut and took him in because he was a little dehydrated. Many of you were right on by suggesting I give him rice and boiled chicken. Yummy!! After we got home from the ER vet yesterday he slept most of the afternoon. Around 5:00 he was acting hungry and actually wanted to eat. He ate a helping of rice and chicken and kept it all down. A few hours later he had some more and then right before bed he ate some more. He kept it all down! Bo slept really well during the night.

This morning I talked to my vet. She said I absolutely did the right thing by taking him in. She told me that because he is so small dehydration can happen really fast. The vet told me that since he was eating and keeping it all down that she was really pleased with that. She told me to just watch him today, keep him on his bland diet and that she would call and check up on him again tomorrow. I love Bo's vet. She is so nice and understanding, she also knows what happened to me so she knows why I'm a little "nuts" sometimes. The only thing that I'm still worried about is that Bo still isn't drinking any water. He will only get one or two sips at a time and that is if I make him drink it. I've started putting a little water in with his rice, figured that was better than no water at all. The vet said that him not drinking is normal because he received so much yesterday. So we will wait and see what she says in the morning when she calls back. On the other side his appetite is defiantly back and he is loving his new diet of rice and chicken! For now Bo is feeling better and has even played a lot today, running and chasing after his ball. Here are some pictures that I took today....
I'm feeling lots better today!! Playing in the kitchen.

I'm so hungry. He was watching my Mom make our dinner. Look at that adorable little face!

Here is Bo trying to climb the cabinets to get his dinner. He never does this, so I knew he was hungry.

Will you please hurry up!!!! I'm starving!!!!

All in all Bo is feeling much better today. I will let you all know tomorrow what our vet says again. He may or may not have to go in for a check up. Thank you all once again for your thoughts, suggestions, and for praying for my little Bo.
