sick puppy

I have a sick puppy.

It's Fred. I don't know quite what's wrong. He was sick to his stomach yesterday because he'd been eating grass. This happens every once in a while to all of them. Usually after the sickness passes, he is hungry again. But he just licked his food. Then he was sick again in the evening. He doesn't seem to be in distress or pain. He's not panting. But he is laying next to me (which he never does) so I know he is feeling in need of protection.

This morning when I came downstairs, he was sick again. I took him outside and he did his business. But he wasn't as energetic as normal. I gave him some yogurt with his kibble, which he licked and dug with his nose. But at least he ate some. And he's drinking normally. Now he's laying next to me again. Not panting or fussing. Just laying there.

Fred is a very fussy eater. It doesn't take much to put him off his food, so I'm not too concerned.

Now I'm waiting for Ziggy's to open so I can get him some Pepto. Poor pup.

greyhounds, fred
