Puppy ills

Well, it's not just me & Paul who have been ill recently. Rewley just had two stays at the Indianapolis Veterinary Emergency Clinic. It started a week ago when he got violently ill overnight. We took him to our local vet, who had him on an IV all day for dehydration. At the end of the day, she recommended we take him to an emergency clinic since he was still in bad shape. He wound up spending 3 days there, then getting sent home, then getting called back up due to some new x-ray findings, then discharged again the next day.

So now Rewley gets to take antibiotics for a month and eat a special diet of venison & potato canned dog food for the next 2 months. He LOVES the stuff, which is so awesome because he was refusing his food before we took him in. We're hoping to make friends with some avid hunters in the area so we can get our hands on some good deer meat.

It's been a real emotional rollercoaster, and we're hoping that this will finally keep our puppy well.
