talk story

Rough night. Diesel vomited a large blood clot a few days ago. Vet said no signs of cancer, but he's still struggling to get back on his feet. Vomited so much yesterday that he was too weak to walk last night, we thought he we were going to lose him. We had to give him an IV of fluids, feed him wet food through a syringe. He's much better this morning, but going to take him into the vet again later today. Its especially hard when they are this small, they deteriorate very quickly. He seems to have stabilized though. Tough little guy.

Update. Got back from the vet, turns out Deez had a fever, which might be from an infection that is tied to a bleeding ulcer. Would explain the vomiting. He got a shot, some additional antibiotics. We are going to keep him on IV for a bit and his meds, see how he progresses. Feeling upbeat, since we got home and he instantly ate the chicken I was offering him this morning, but he wouldn't take. 

Deez is majorly food motivated and not seeing him go after it had me stressed. Anyone who has had an animal that suddenly won't do their favorite thing due to illness knows what I'm talking about. So, once again, tough little guy. Thank you for all of the kind words today 💛
