The last few weeks have been hard for our sweet dog. Several vet appointments and medicine galore, the puggle finally finished his last medication this morning for his recent canine colitis flare up. Medication 2-3 times a day is difficult  for anyone to handle. I am sure Dinsmore is going to miss all the treats he got, but I think we can handle keeping that up. Because he is healthy again. I am so excited, I could just dance.

Thank you for all your support and kind words for my sweet boy. It means the world to me that people from all over sent good thoughts his way. Good thoughts and prayers help heal.

It looks like we are starting to see some improvement in Dinsmore. Thank goodness!

It is all about the cuddles when this boy is sick.

Yesterday he ate both meals and was not so lethargic, but you can tell his stomach is still not 100%. Luckily, he is no longer getting sick, but his stomach is still gurgling a lot. We are thankful that this is his first major sickness since we first diagnosed with canine colitis in 2009. This time we knew more, his vets knew more and because of this Dinsmore did not have to go through as many exploratory tests to confirm what we already knew.

I have to say though, this time around it was harder on me emotionally. I don’t know if it because he is older or what, but when I saw him get sick that first time on Tuesday morning I almost lost it. You see when the colitis flares up, he usually will start to throw up and you will see a good amount of blood intermixed. As soon as it happened I knew he was not doing well, and I knew the vets would be able to take care of him, but it was still so upsetting.

This pug is the world to me. He is my dog soul mate, I can’t imagine life without him next to me. He is all love and I hate to see him hurting. Lots of love  does heal him though. He has been glued to my side for days. You don’t see my complaining about that though.

So we are on the mend and today I am thankful.
