Mister is eating--finally. The only thing he will eat is poached, skinless chicken breasts with rice and a little Beechnut stage 1 (no onion salt) strained chicken. The first vet had told me that Mister was anemic, with a hematocrit of 30; the ER vet said no way, Mister's hematocrit was 48. I'm absolutely trusting the ER vet. She also told me to dab peanut butter on the pills, and that's working, too. He receives meds at 9 am, 1 pm, 9 pm, 5 am. All different meds, poor little guy. He's still not himself, but he growled and barked at Mr. Tom today. I'm grateful for all of your prayers. The ER vet said it is a miracle that Mister is here. I am counting blessings.
Hugs,
Gollum & Mister
oh girl...I had no idea any of this was happening to you! I am so sorry!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you have a good vet that is going to get to the bottom of his problems, and that he is doing better. I have been in your position before, and it is so hard to be helpless...and you just wish that they could tell you themselves what doesn't feel right.
I wish there was something I could do!
Thanks so much for the update. Miss Lucy wasn't feeling good a couple of weeks ago and the poached chicken breast and rice was the only thing she would eat too.
ReplyDeleteI pray that Mister gets stronger every day. It sounds like he's a fighter. Hugs to you both!
So glad to hear that he is doing better Michael. I don't have to imagine how scared you were...I've been there several times myself. They are our little babies!
ReplyDeleteI'm just now seeing this! It so good to hear Mister is doing better. I know you must have been so very worried.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your baby is doing better. I have 2 Yorkies, one 10+ and one 4 months. They are my children. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. Poor little guy. Glad he is getting better even if slowly.
ReplyDeleteI like the new banner up top. Fall is coming whether we like it or not....I like it.
I found your blog somewhere.
ReplyDeleteRally nice. I try to participate ton Foodie Friday!
Cheers. Have a great week.

What you are hearing right now is a HUGE (collective) sigh of relief.
ReplyDeleteLove your Fall Header.
Oh, that cute picture of him in his Halloween costume on your header-it will be here again in no time, and I'm sure Mister will be ready to go trick or treating again! I'm so glad he is eating. Sounds like he's being well cared for and is on the mend. laurie
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your caring and loving comments!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, I miss a day or two and I am seeing this for the first time. I am sorry to hear about Mister. I am glad to hear that he is eating and barking and growling that's half the battle. I had a diabetic schnauzer in the past and your chicken recipe was his favorite diet. ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteMister is so adorable. I hope he is feeling better soon. There is nothing like a vet you feel you can trust and it sounds like you have that.

Glad to see he's improving. Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteDuchess and I are hoping your little Mister is recovering and feeling stronger by the minute. I can relate to you so much, when Duchess had her masectomy, I was so beside my self with worry, they are so little and fragile. Hugs to you and Mister, if he's eating and growling, it sounds like he will be up and decorating in no time!
ReplyDeleteAwww! He is so sweet. Glad he is doing better.
ReplyDeleteI hope your little guys recovery quickly. I can imagine how you feel. I have two pekingese puppies and they are my babies. Keep us posted on his progress.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jan
Thanks for the update... I was worried about him. Give him whatever he wants to eat, I say. Gaining back his strength is so important. When our dog was sick, the vet insisted we feed her this nasty nutrient-packed food that she hated; we had to force it down in a syringe. Pa gave her a bit of steak... she had no trouble raising her head and scarfing it right up!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Mister is feeling some better! Growling is a good sign!
ReplyDeleteXXDenise
So sorry Mister is not doing well but glad he is better...Christine
ReplyDeleteHowdy from Kansas,
ReplyDeleteLike your header with Mister.
Keep praying for puppy's healing.
Have I got some stories about praying for dogs!
God was gracious even with our pets.
Blessings,

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that Mister has been so ill. I missed your last post. It sounds like he is on the mend. What procedure was he having done that he was under anesthesia? It sounds like the ER doc has you on right track, will keep the little guy in my prayers. Hugs, Kathy
ReplyDeleteMister: "Sending get well wishes. So sorry you haven't been feeling like yourself and know what you are going through. Just be sure to take your medication as your Keepers know what's best for you." Signed....

I am so glad your doggy is doing better. We had to put my son's dog to sleep last week and my heart is still breaking over her.

ReplyDeleteI am SOOOO very happy to hear that Mister is growling and EATING!!!! That is wonderful! It is SOOO darn hard to be helpless when our pets are so fragile. Here's hoping Mister will be back to NORMAL ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs, Pinky Thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteHello Gollum,
ReplyDeleteBack at my own computer after a long trip. So sorry to hear of your close call with little Mister. He is such a cutie, and I can only imagine how very scared you were. Hope is is up to his old tricks soon!! Jan (jjlmnaz)
Michael, I am truly sorry about Mister, but I am sure he is on the mend. It just breaks your heart when they can't tell you what is wrong.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone else is on the mend also. I don't think you need any more illness, etc, right now.
Purple hugs,
Barbara
I've tried the peanut butter on the pill. It worked one time. Then my dog began to lick his pills clean!
ReplyDeletejust reading about mister for the first time, my heart goes out to you, you KNOW i totally get the furry heart thing... i hope he gets better quicker and quicker and is able to be perfect, happy and healthy soon. been a rough time for you, your mom and mister, wishing good health to all that surround you~ jain
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he's getting better. Poor buddy. And, poor momma.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I have been thinking of both of you.

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Mister has been sick. Wow, you've been busy taking care of lots of sick sweeties lately. I'm glad your Mom is doing so well. Hope Dr. G is much, much better now, too. Glad Mister is eating again.
