Sorry

Dear readers, sorry for being MIA these past few days. Ike ended up getting sick... again. Monday night the poor little guy threw up ALL OVER the house. After counting, it turned out to be something like 10 times he got sick. Worried, I called the vet and brought him in yesterday. They drew blood and gave him a shot of an anti-emetic so he'd stop throwing up. Too bad it made him so drowsy, he fell asleep standing up. *UGH* I fed him SmartWater through a giant plastic syringe all day yesterday (he was so tired he wouldn't drink from his bowl) and slept through the night. This morning it's as if our old dog is back. The vet called and said Ike's white cell count was through the roof, and his liver enzymes didn't look so good. So, he's obviously still fighting something. To add to it all, Ike has a thyroid problem as well. Ike is now taking two anti-biotics as well as a thyroid pill. Doc says Ike should be right as rain in a month, and that his coat and skin will begin to change as a result of the meds. It's nice to finally know what the F is wrong with this dog, and to know that he is finally on the mend.

Tomorrow I'm off to the Nati to see everyone! YAY! I can't wait to see you all! *SMOOCH*
