Off to the Vet

While Sassy has been doing wonderfully on Natural Balance venison and sweet potato on Tuesday she didn't want to eat and reverted back to her "strawberry jelly" bowel movements. While it is emotionally painful for me to see her in this way, I can't even begin to understand the discomfort she must have as she tries to go to the bathroom. She seems better today, last night as well as this morning she had a normal solid poo, but I am taking her to the vet anyway. I'd like to see if I can get a refillable script for metronidozle that I can use with pet meds for when she has flares up so I don't have to keep dragging her to the vet. Or maybe at least he can just have me call his office and they will provide me with some. I'm still new to the world of dog medicine and how it all works.

As I said, Sassy seems to be doing better. However, I believe I have found the cause of her flare up and am anticipating another one soon, if not later today. Recently, Sas has been waking me up around 6am. I've been getting up and taking her outside and because I don't want her to wake the whole house I usually stay up after that. This morning I decided to relax on the couch with my laptop. Not ten minutes went by before I heard a plastic rustling sound from the kitchen. When I go to investigate, I find the nubbie end of my pup sticking out of the trash bag. I'm not sure how much or even what Sas ate but I suppose I will find out if she ends up with a sick tummy and intestines later. For now she is curled up at my feet like a true velcro dog, content that since I am awake and not walking around she is free to sleep without concern.
