Little Bear snoozing
The good news is that after frightening us all half to death, Little Bear is making a good recovery. A third X-ray on Saturday revealed that things were moving as they should be through his intestine which rules out any kind of obstruction and as he was eating and generally brighter he was allowed home on Saturday afternoon!
He’s not yet back to his old self, but compared to the pitiful little dog we took to the emergency vet on Wednesday night, he’s miles better. We took him on a short walk yesterday evening and although he enjoyed his runabout, he abruptly ran out of steam meaning I had to carry him part of the way home. I swear I started off carrying a Mini Schnauzer and ended up with a Newfoundland by the time I reached the front door!
He’s still taking antibiotics and has easy to digest prescription food until we get the results of the blood work back in a few days. So we’re taking it easy, letting him sleep as much as possible and generally just keeping an eye on him. The most important thing is that he’s here, he’s well and he’s getting better by the day.
One pooped pooch! 🙂

soooo very happy to read this update 🙂 I remember when we brought our bonnie back after a week at the vet’s we realized that having left her there was the best thing we could have done and all our sadness was well worth it because now the worst part was over… welcome home Little Bear 🙂 big hug Alexandra

Thanks Sue. If his bark is a barometer of how he’s feeling he’s getting quickly back to full strength! 🙂
