Sicky Pup

Yesterday morning, I woke up by Muffin's noise.
His stomach is contracting, and I knew right away that he is going to barf.
And he did. Once, then I clean it and go back to bed.
In the end, he did it 3 times in 10 mins, and when I was done with cleaning the 3rd round, I saw him squatting near the washing machine, and soon after there's a big pile of poop there. Strangely he continue to squat, and soon after, there's another poop on the floor, it's just not a good shaped poop.
And it has some blood on it.

This is not Muffin's normal behavior, because he is house broken already.
Barfing is pretty normal, because sometimes his stomach is uncomfortable, so it's ok with us.
But pooping inside the house ?? and bloody too ???
That's problem.


We got dressed right away, and arrive in the pet hospital near our house in 20 mins.
Doctor Xu (徐医生) was there, a small lady, but you can feel that she is capable on what she is doing.
She weigh Muffin (5,85kg), and check on his temperature (It was 39,5C)
The temperature is pretty high, and the blood in the poop is also a concern.
So she stick a needle on Muffin's right front foot (which Muffin of course fight!), and draw some blood from him.
2 of the results are higher than it supposed to be, and it is related with his liver.
The doctor give him a shot of medicine, and another capsules to be put on his food.
And she advice us to come back again the day after.

We came back to the hospital this afternoon, and it was Doctor Wang (王医生) there.
He is pretty concern about our pup's liver condition, and he wants to pay close attention to it.
He put Muffin into an IV treatment, and give another prescription of medicine to protect his liver.

It was pretty sad to see our pup getting his IV treatment.
I hate to see his eyes, which like saying "Hey, why do you leave me alone in here, with needle sticking on my foot !?"
But we do what we have to do, to ensure that he will be having a nice and healthy liver. If he needs to get an IV, then he will get it.

We came back 4 hours later, to find that he is not done yet, there is still another IV treatment that he should get.
And in 30 mins its all done, and he is ready to go home.
He seems to be very relieved to leave the hospital, and peed right away.
We walk till the Maotai Rd (茅台路-威宁路)near our house, then we put him on the bicycle basket, and ride home.
We stop at a little park near our house, just at FuRongJiang Rd (芙蓉江路), and sit there and talk for a little bit, we're sick of sitting down inside our little house all day long.

On the walk back home, Muffin peed again (2nd time in 1 hour), and was very happy to be in the house again.

The pup is ok, he is still his normal self, happy, and cheerful dog, very energetic, but something must be wrong on his liver, and we hope that he will be completely healthy soon.

We will know in 1 week, as we need to go back and get his blood checked again.

Get well soon, pup !
