Puppy Update

Hey Guys and Gals :) Just wanted to share a little update becuse I know this is going to be a busy week. And I said in the chat room this morning I would keep updated....

Aidan is home he is still weak. but he is home... I finally got the money, $100 from mm, and $100 from xMM

They were really reluctant to release him. But with finances I coudln't afford to pay any more. My total was $305.73, they sent me home with some IV fluids to give him under his skin until he can drink freely on his own without vomitting. He is on a strong antibiotic, and some kinda syrup that makes him not vomit.

They really kinda freaked me out when I picked him up. Saying that he really wasn't any better. That I shouldn't be picking him up. That he needed to stay. That his diarrhea was worse. He was still real depressed. I was so scared to see him. After they went over all the meds with me, and how to give him the IV, I paid. Then they took me to the Isolation room where he had been held. They brought him out and he perked up, went right to me. Gave me a big ol kiss. Then nuzzled me. He missed his mommy. I about cried. He looked rough but 110% better than when I brought him in on Sunday. They said that he still wasn't drinking on his own. That he wasn't interested in food. I got him home and secluded him in the bathroom away from Emily so I could say bye to mm. After he left a few minutes later I let Aidan out and he was all excited wagging his tail. The first thing he did was go over and push Bianca over. Then got a big drink of water. Which he has kept down for 4 hours now. He still doesn't have any interest in his food except to sniff, but not eat.

I am also really surprised with mm. I have never had someone be as supportive of me than him. I was really short on cash, and he did everything he could to get as much money as he could so I could get my puppy home. Not only money wise, but he called 4-5 times a day to see if I had heard from the vet, and wanted to know all details. Constantly telling me that everything would be ok, and to not worry about a thing.

*Bianca is one of my cats....

*Emily is my pug.
