Mason was sick this past week. It started last Monday morning. He couldn't keep anything down. Solid or liquid. He had one (1) small bowel movement Monday that was loose. Rinse and repeat Tuesday except NO bowel movement and no meals. Wednesday and still hadn't eaten anything and MAYBE only a small amount of water intake.
By Wednesday evening I was real worried about blockage and dehydration. BUT THEN ... he ate a small amount of kibble and had a soft bowel movement. Been slowly getting better since Thursday morning. All along, everything was fine with Sugar. Same 'o same 'o Sugar.
I was very worried about Mason for about 3 1/2 days. He threw up IN the bed once but made it outside the other times. I got MAYBE 6 hours sleep total over that time. When I truly became concerned about blockage, I stopped feeding him all together. He turned his nose up at it anyway or just kind of tried to eat but couldn't. Then Wednesday night, he "let me know" he wanted to try and eat something so I fed him just a little bit and he has slowly and continually gotten better since.
I was going to take him to the vet Thursday if he had been the same as he had been since Monday but it wasn't necessary.
Mason chews sticks. More so than Sugar and I though maybe he'd swallowed something that caused a blockage. Haven't seen anything "woody" in his stool though. Maybe he ate a frog or something. I just dunno.
Anyway, it was kind of a break for me and the Sugary one. Pretty much as of yesterday, he's back to his same 'ole a55hat self. WOooHOoo !!!
