Milo


I'll be away from blog for a while as our dear little Milo was very sick yesterday and is having tests run and IV given today.

 Thank you to anyone for prayers and thoughts for our sweet little boy.

 3/25/15: Thank you so much for your sweet comments in support of our little Milo. He is doing better today. We're still not certain what caused all his vomiting and dehydration but labs look good. Now it's mainly a matter of coaxing him to eat anything and drink water but I'm hoping that will get back to normal soon. Meanwhile we're doing a whole lot of snuggling. 

 3/27/15: Milo has 2 more days on antibiotic so I'm hoping there will still be more improvement. He remains lethargic and has to be coaxed to eat and drink. So far the only thing he'll willingly eat is baby food where we hide his medication. He's been on Blue dog food ever since we adopted him with no problem before this, and his brother Otis is on it with no problem. After the first two days of him refusing to eat almost nothing of the prescription canned food from his veterinarian's office, I've tried rice with ground grass-fed sirloin that he'll only pick at, and the baby food. 

 See you all soon,
Dewena

    Dewena, I'm so glad Milo is feeling better. Is that a dachshund??? He;s soooo cute. I had one when I was a little girl, and her name was Cinnamon. She was the best dog I had. Give Milo a hug from Sheri, and I hope he's back to his old self soon.

    love, ~Sheri

    I am so sorry Milo has been sick. How in the world did you fall off my blog reading list? I just put you back on my sidebar. When I found your old link it had a red X beside it. Hopefully, we are good now. So nice to see a post from you! xo Diana

    Dewena, so sorry to hear that Milo has been very ill! We recently went through a similar experience with our dog. Her labs were fine but she was positive for a bacterial overgrowth in her gut. We had recently changed dog foods at the advice of our vet and then I began to see notices that the new dog food had been recalled.Sending plenty of positive thoughts and prayers that Milo has a speedy recovery! It's so hard when our pets get sick. Keep us posted.

    Hi, Dewena, I am new to your blog, so please forgive me for prying, but does Milo eat Beneful dog food? One of our dogs got terribly ill from it and whenever I see another dog sick in a similar way I wonder.

    Sorry, I just now read your most recent update. My vet said that Blue dog food is problematic for some dogs. Here is a link that has people's experience with that dog food.
