Jack is Sick -with Diarrhoea

Hi,

Jack has been vomiting the whole of yesterday and passed out blood instead of any stool this morning...!!!

We were very worried indeed and rushed him to the vet.

Jack was very quiet in the car which was very unusual as he would normally be reckless and walked all over the backseat of the car.

When we weighed him at the vet office, he has lost 2 kg ( from 18 to 16 kg ). Maybe from his vomiting and not holding on to his food and water intake...?

The vet asked us if we were aware of any foreign items that Jack could have swallowed from our garden or during his walks but we could not remember of such incidents. He was normal one day and then vomited the next day.

We decided to do a blood test and the results were good, nothing abnormal..!

So Jack was give an injection to reduce any inflammation in his tummy and antibiotics plus medication for his vomiting and diarrhoea.

After the visit, Jack was better and was reckless in the backseat of the car on the way home.

As at this evening, Jack is not totally recovered but definitely more lively and no more vomiting and diarrhoea.......

Importantly, the blood test results also told us that his liver and kidney are doing well and no diabetes as we were concerned that he drinks a lot and pees a lot daily, a bit unusual compared to Ruby.




Poor Jack, hope you get well very soon like tomorrow.....
We love you..!!
