Today has been a roller coaster.

Today has been a roller coaster. We finally got some food that interested Oreo... but then he threw it all up a few hours later. 😭😭😭

We ended up seeing his doctor again. He lost a pound, but he has less fluid in his abdomen (which is a good sign!) so hopefully that's where he lost the weight from.

He got another injection for nausea and some nausea pills to start tomorrow. He also got metronidazole for his gastro issues. And he also has some FortiFlora probiotic being picked up by Shadow here shortly.

He drank some water when we got home and went to sleep. He's still out. I know the vet is so scary and he got another painful injection on top of that. I feel so bad for him.

Gonna try the food thing again when he wakes up. Wish us luck.

Super Thank you to Taimi...

Super Thank you to Taimi for making Satin Balls for Oreo and bringing him a sweater. He ate one and has crashed out. I'm gonna see if he'll eat another in an hour or so. Paws crossed!

Oreo has gone back...

Oreo has gone back to finish the Freshpet puppy food! I didn't even have to persuade him! I could literally cry happy tears! ❤️❤️❤️

I've been DoorDashing like crazy this morning.

Puppy Milk was a no.

Bone Broth was a no.

He ate some Freshpet puppy food.

My friend Emily bought him some Instinct Gut Health mixers the other day and he ate them all. This morning he was nudging the bag (I was saving it to cut the coupon off), so I bought him a large bag of those and he ate a few.

We have a few more things unopened to try, but I'm sure he's full right now. I will keep you all updated. ❤️

Current Status: Napping.

Oreo threw up...

Oreo threw up sometime between midnight and 3 am. At first I panicked, but after more research I read that vomiting and diarrhea (which he thankfully hasn't had yet) can be expected in malnourished dogs. So, I have calmed down. About that part, anyway.

What is still bothering me is his low appetite. He's not consuming nearly enough calories in a day. He's just not. The only thing he consistently has shown interest in consuming is milk and icing. I've got dry food and canned food. Sometimes if I put milk in the canned food he'll eat a small serving, but if I try it again he refuses.

I'm DoorDashing some puppy milk for him because at least if he would drink that it would be the right mammal. I also have Freshpet food coming from PetSmart, as well as some Instinct Gut Health Meal Toppers that he liked before. And vitamins.

According to an article I read I should have been force feeding him after 2 days of low appetite. I REALLY don't want to do that, but I will if I must. I just don't want to damage any trust we have built.

This is hard, y'all. I really think he had one foot out the door when I picked him up and I am so scared he's just not gonna pull through. 😢

I feel like this is a nice picture of Oreo.

I feel like this is a nice picture of Oreo. Look at this baby. 💗💗💗

Sometimes I look at Oreo and think "He definitely looks better."

Other times I look up and see this and my heart breaks all over again. I have to remind myself that it's only been a week and we're taking baby steps over here. ❤️‍🩹
