A SICK PUP IS NOT A HAPPY PUP!

Chase has come down with something. We took him to the vet yesterday. The vet thought it was probably a parasite (coccocina...something) that has been going around at the Humane Society, but he couldn't be sure until we had a poop sample. $128 later, with antibiotics in hand and a $65 shot of "Convenia 7-day Antibiotic" in Chase, we headed home. (Chase had a temp of 104degrees, so the vet was quite concerned). We were able to oblige with the poop sample a few minutes after we got home so I took it right over...all fresh, hot and steamy. Then I stopped at the store and got some pedialite water, since Chase was dehydrated.

Today Chase is starting to move around and doesn't feel as hot. He even has a cold nose. And he is eating again. But he is sleeping allot. Turns out he doesn't have a parasite problem...but what the heck does he have? Maybe stress from the groomers and the 4th of July? guessed the vet. If he doesn't perk up tomorrow, we'll have to take him in for blood tests. Luckily, we have pet insurance...sounds like we're gonna need it!

Izzie is hanging around, mothering Chase as needed. It's interesting how animals know when one of them isn't himself!
