I have no idea if I posted an update re: my dog philboy...

[LeftyFingerPop]

I really fly by the seat of my pants sometimes, and if I already posted this, I apologize.

Anyway, the little guy is cured for the moment.

The vet feels that the "salt gradient" related to his kidneys got messed up, so he drank water until it normalized.

He's feeling better, and he's a good boy, and all of those who sent well wishes are good people. Thanks.

1. what happened?

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. He got that illness...

I can't think of the name right now...where they throw up blood and bleed from the rectum. So I took him to the emergency vet at 2 am or so, and he ended up in intensive care for 36 hours...

So when he came home, he could not stop drinking and urinating... :hi:
