Bart is back in the hospital today.
He had a terrifying episode yesterday when he started trying to vomit and his stomach convulsed but all he was able to produce was a little bit of foamy bile and some gassy belches. Then he collapsed and refused to move.
After resting for about an hour he was up and moving again. We were still at my parents' home at the lake in the middle of nowhere and there was no vet to take him to. So we made it home last night and I took him to his own doctor first thing this morning. They kept him and sent me to work.
The medicine for his diarrhea hasn't worked. He took the last pill yesterday and he's still making liquid poops. Now he has blood in both his urine and stool.
He hasn't been eating well at all so last night after I got him home I went to the store and got him some chicken and rice and boiled it up for him. He ate it right up, to my relief. During this whole ongoing diarrhea saga he has never acted sick or painful until yesterday, but last night and this morning he's his old perky self. I'm still scared for him though. He acted fine all weekend, and had a great time at my family reunion. When he's feeling better I'll post some of the new pictures. Right now I've just got my fingers crossed that the vet will call any minute and tell me he'll be just fine.
