Dr. Fariello told us that the thing for us to watch is whether or not Red is eating. Yesterday was a sort of wobbly back and forth day, but this morning Red seemed his usual self, he came over to my side of the bed, waiting for me to pet him.
I made a breakfast of kibble, hamburger and rice. He went right to the bowl and ate it quickly and eagerly. This is good news, it means he is not nauseous and his fever is down or gone.
Back to the vet tomorrow for a final check, I think we are out of the woods, especially if he eats this eagerly tonight.
We’ve got to figure out how to deal with the fact that Red’s immune system seems compromised. For now, I am just relieved and happy. More later.
Hooray! I’m so glad that Red is better. I know from my own experience how terrifying it can be when one of the dogs is very sick and it sounds like Red’s recent illness was life-threatening. I know that between you, Maria, and your excellent vet, you’ll be able to come up with some ways to cope with his compromised immune system and keep him healthy.
Red eating…and all your readers are smiling. Feeling relieved that he is doing better. He is such a special dog….and lucky to have you (and Maria) caring for him. Fingers crossed that he keeps improving steadily.
An answered prayer.
YES !!
