Tummy Update

Lisa purchased some supplies for Echo: baby food, pedialyte, and pepto-bismol. She attempted some baby food which didn't keep and Echo will not touch the pedialyte. Buddy likes it though.

After I got home, Echo vomited again (5pm). I took him for a walk shortly after because other than his tummy issue he seems in good health and is eager to play/exercise. I also moistened some dog food for use later.

Around 7pm we started feeding him small portions of plain white rice every 45 minutes. Before bed I mixed in a few water logged pieces of dog food to the rice and let him drink the water - our main concern has been dehydration. A Labrador is hungry even with regular feedings, Echo must feel like we lost food bowl.

Everyone slept peacefully through the night. Echo and I stopped at the veterinarian's office this morning to check weight loss. Upon returning home, more rice and the rest of the water logged food. He had only lost a pound, so the road to recovery should be short.

It looks like Echo will be able to celebrate his birthday. He is seven months old. Remember when ...
