Mr Azoo is unwell.

[bunn]

Yesterday, Az was off his food.  He did try a little lunch, but didn't keep it down, and was sick several times in the evening and overnight.  Off to the vet this morning, he was given an antiemetic shot and antibiotics, and instructions to give him his heart pills by putting them down his throat.  He didn't like this much, and soon brought them up again.  

He hasn't brought up the antibiotic pills yet, but he won't eat anything, not even boiled chicken.  This is all seeming horribly familiar.  I am trying not to assume it is the same problem Mollydog had, because really, what are the odds? But it's worrying.  

To add drama to disaster, I had a foster dog booked to arrive here tomorrow, a pointer called Danny.  He's come from Greece and has tested positive for leishmaniasis, which is not a transmissible disease in the UK, but does mean his immune system is potentially compromised.  We don't really have anywhere else to put him, so I am a bit worried I may have to bring him here anyway.  I should, I think, be able to keep them separated if I have to, but it's not ideal.   Stress stress stress stress.    

Edit: 6pm.  I've just left Az at the vet on a drip: he's been going downhill all today, and is now dehydrated and I can't get any medication into him orally.   I feel terrible. Being left behind is one of Az's big fears and I've just done it to him.

Not good. Sorry to hear this, and hope Az improves.

Fingers crossed for Az to make a full recovery soon!

Oh poor Az, fingers crossed.

Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope all turns out well. Hopefully he won't feel too abandoned since he'll have nice people to look after him. And it sounds like you had no alternative.

That is worrying. I do hope things improve for him very soon.

Oh I'm so sorry :/ I know exactly how you feel. Lots of good and positive thoughts for Az to get hydrated again. I'm sure he'll be back with you soon.

Poor Az. The 6pm update is not what I wanted to read, but still less what you wantd to type, I know.

Poor Az. I do hope he's better tomorrow!

I'm so sorry to hear this, I do hope Az picks up soon, I can totally see how you'd be very worried about him. I know you feel bad about leaving him at the vet, I'd feel the same, especially when you know he has a thing about being left, but if he's dehydrated it really is the best place for him, however horrible it feels having to do that to him. Best wishes to you both.

So sorry to read he got worse last night. Hope he is doing better this morning and that the vet is able to fix whatever is wrong.
