Update

So my moms work has an out break of Kennel Cough. I am starting to get it. I keep coughing and I dont know why. Just when I was feeling better and running around my home like a nutball. Ugh, when will it ever stop? And to make matters worse I have a urinary tract infection, so I am on medicine for that as well...... Being an immunocompromised puppy makes me sad. I cannot even get my vacines right now... I haven't had them in over a year... My doctor says I can get them again when I have been on the prednisone every other day for three or four months... it has been only one month... Oh well. Mommy needs to go to work. Talk to you guys later..

Update

So I'm home now. I am not at the Animal Hospital anymore. I still don't feel one hundred percent. I am loving the snow though. I am still a picky eater and my mommy still has to give me medicine two times a day. I will be on them for the rest of my life. I have been sick every since my mommy bought me. I have Irritable Bowel Disease. Or IBD for short. I can only eat a prescription diet, and if I eat anything that is not on that diet, I will get sick. I get very bad diarrhea and vomiting. When my mommy bought me a year and a half ago, I had Kennel Cough. Which usually takes a week or so to get rid of, well, it took me two and a half months. Two and a half months of going back and forth to the vet to get poked, prodded, and tortured. After I got over that, I had Bronchial Pnuemonia. That took me a while to get over as well. In May, I underwent my second surgery. My first was a spay, and the second was an abdominal explore. They took out four different pieces of my abdomen and sent them out to see what was wrong. That was when we first learned of my IBD. It took seven months for the medicine that we started me on to start working. Seven months of constant overnight stays because I wouldn't eat, drink, or play with my mommy. Seven months of several catheters placed so I could be re-hydrated. Seven months of me trying to gain weight. One visit to work had me on four different anti-vomit medicines, and they still weren't working. Then in September, I weighed 48 pounds. That is the most I have ever weighed. I puked a few more times and they gave me a medicine called Cerenia. Since then I have only puked 3 times. It is now December, and this is the first time since September that I needed to go to mommys work for something other than to play with friends. I now weigh 45 pounds and am trying to be a good girl for my mom and eat. The meds are making me not hungry. I'm going to go to bed now. I'm tired. Talk to you guys later.

Sick

Mommy had to bring me to work on saturday, and not to play with all my friends there. I haven't eaten in five days. I don't like this new medicine that my Dr. put me on. It tastes very metallic. Like licking a 9 volt battery. Ucky. Since I haven't eaten in five days the Emergency Doctor on hand told her I should stay. I had to get an IV catheter placed. I was put on IV fluids and to make matters worse, I have a hotspot on my tail. They had to shave it down to clean it. Boy, did it hurt. I screamed and mommy cried. I now have three spots on me that have had to been shaved in order to fix something. I think it is this medicine that I am on to controll my diarrhea, and vomiting. I am a very sick little girl. It makes mommy very sad.

Work today

Mommy took me to work again today. I like it there. She has friends at work who bring other dogs and we play together for eight hours or more sometimes. I got a bath yesterday. :-( I'm not fond of them, but I sit still for them. Mommy says I need to get off the computer I need to go to sleep she says. Those parents are no fun!!
