Our sick little puppy

As I mentioned in my previous post that a nasty bug was making it's way around our house....It started with Gabe, made it's way to me and now it crept in on our little Isaac and attacked with a vengeance.  I won't go into too much detail, but he has had intestinal distress since late Monday, early Tuesday and has lost 1 pound!  Now, 1 pound doesn't seem like too much, but for a little guy that already struggles with being small, it's a lot.  In fact it was 5 % of his body weight, thus he is "moderately" dehydrated.  Today Dan took off work after Isaac continued vomiting this morning and showed more signs of dehydration.  We thought for sure he would need to be admitted for IV fluids, but angels must be watching over him because his weight was the same when we got to the doctor.  His belly was quite gurgly, which was actually a good sign that things were in there.  He certainly doesn't feel well, but luckily we are able to keep working on fluids at home and have a prescription for a med that will help if the vomiting continues.

I am sure he will bounce back; we are hoping he bounces back real soon.... Our sick little puppy.....

(He is watching TV while he is patiently waiting to have labs drawn to check his electrolyte levels.)

On a side note, Isaac has LOVES puppies (and dogs).  Anytime he sees one or hears one he immediately says, "woof woof" and perks up.  It's my favorite thing he does these days :)
