[Dailydrool] Charlie Brown

[Lynne Miller]

Charlie went back to the vet today after he started having diarrhea and was so lifeless. They said he's tender in his pancreas area and was dehydrated. They did blood work which won't be back until tomorrow, a fecal exam which was negative and gave him fluids that were injected under his skin that they said would work through in 12 hours. He was discharged with Metronidazole(antibiotic), Diarsaryl which is a paste which they said would help coat his stomach,  Forti Flora which is sprinkled on his food and I have no idea what it's for and to continue the Famotidine. He has ate a little chicken and rice which is the first thing he has eaten since late Monday so I'm hoping that's a good sign. So we wait on the blood work to come back and hope he'll continue to perk up and eat and keep it down. I was very fortunate that my grandmother helped with the bill because with me just having my disability now I didn't have it so I'm thankful. 
 
Thanks to everyone that has sent messages with useful tips and plenty of drool. God Bless.
