Our Problem Child

If it's not one thing with Ty, it's another. Who would have thought one cute little dog could have so many issues and be so dang expensive? Not that we don't have enough going on in our lives right now, but Ty decided to add to the fun by getting really sick. He wouldn't eat or drink for a few days. I had to take him to the vet two days in a row to get fluids because he was so dehydrated. They also did two films of his abdomen to make sure he didn't have a blockage. The only thing they found was an inflamed lower intestine filled with gas. The dr. thinks he may have had a virus. So he was sent home with special food, which he still wouldn't eat for another two days and antibiotics. He finally started feeling a little better on Sunday night. Each day he is showing more improvement and I think he's just about back to normal (if you can even call him "normal"). However, he won't stop licking the spot that they put the IV to give him fluids and he's turning it into a "hot spot", which I now have to put ointment and gauze on to prevent from getting much worse. Honestly Tyson!
Here's a picture of him not feeling well last Saturday the 13th.
