away with a raggle taggle gypsy-o

[conejabonita]

So it turns out that poor little Rocco has colitis.  What's colitis, you say?  I'm not really sure.  Some sort of vague inflammation of the bowel.  But I can tell you what it looks (and smells) like:  a lot like a dog alternately shitting blood and black slime every 10 minutes all weekend.  Oh, and vomiting too.  I was actually really afraid that he had swallowed the tine from a plastic fork and it was shredding up his tiny little insides.  But, thank Zeus, that isn't the case.

Also, praise the gods that my silly pooch waited to get sick until the first weekend after my sister's employee discount at the vet's office where she works started.  Total for X-rays, bloodwork, medicine and special food was only $57.  Kick.  Ass.
