Hi, how's Ruby on day 7? Im glad that you like your vet, it is very important to have a good relation with the vet. Hope that the change of meds will help her. School on monday?? Wow, you start early!  

Ruby is making me nervous again. What's new. She isn't having diarrhea anymore, however she won't even pee now. She is walking around with her tail tucked again and just acting like she feels like crap. She's whimpering in pain really softly now almost like she's crying softly. We might go take her back to the vet and get some tests run to see if she needs any nutrition or fluids from all the dehydration caused by the big D. This also could just be her reacting to the Fentanyl patch similar to how she reacted to the Trazadone, just not quite as sedated. We haven't decided what we are going to do just yet but will keep you posted later today when we figure out our next move. Thanks for all the love❤️

She's peeing again! We have figured out that it is her bum that is making her sore and in pain right now. She is very very sore down there from all the diarrhea the past few days. We have been putting cream on it for her, as advised by the vet. She is normally SUCH a social dog and thrives from attention and socializing because I take her with me everywhere. So this morning I decided she needed just that! She seemed to perk up a bit when we took her to both vet offices before, so I thought we should try it again--no one likes moping around the house 24/7. So....I rolled out the wagon, hesitant and very unsure if she is even going to have anything to do with it. Guess what? She LOVES it. She rode and rode and rode in that wagon, smiling and taking it all in. We walked her over to a local cafe a couple blocks away, rolled her right up to the table and she decided to lay down at our feet next to the wagon and just SOAK up the attention from all the customers and staff wanting to say hello! It was so great to be able to distract her from being uncomfortable for a couple of hours! Up until this point she had not peed for about 24 hours which was starting to concern us, but I took her outside mid-brunch and she went twice, came back in, and drank some water! Today was a perfect day for this as it was overcast and mid 70s, she did not get too hot on our wagon walk and really really seemed to enjoy the ride! She even got out once on the way home to pee and then got back in! Who would have thought the wagon would be beneficial to her recovery? Who knows if she will like it once she is fully recovered and back at it, but for now...I think its a win! We are back home now, she is doing better, I am doing better. Lets nap!

Oh wow, what a great day for Ruby! Im so happy! I cant figure what is a wagon? Im from Quebec(french) so im not sure I get it. Picture pleeeeeease LOL Yay for the pee, good job Ruby!  

Here is Ruby in her wagon this morning 🙂 (ugh it's not working ...dang it hold up) we went for a stroll around the block tonight too, it's 60 degrees out I can't believe it! 

Donna-I'll have to pick up a can of pumpkin at the store this weekend! For now I think her GI is back functioning semi-normally, she is just really sore from all the diarrhea over the last few days, poor girl. 

We are starting to worry about the incision as it's looking like some of the skin has become necrotic and started to decay and turn hard and black. The surgeon looked at it when we had her at the office a couple days ago and said it was okay for now, but she will recheck on Monday. She might end up having to sedate Ruby again and go back and fix the incision by removing the dying skin. I hope she doesn't have to do this, but it's not looking very pretty right now. Will update on Monday.
