A Dog's Life by Speed Racer

Jan 23,2005

As Racer's mom and since Racer can not speak to me to tell me what happened I am telling this from my point. Racer somehow was injured at dog park and no way to know how but he hunched up and tucked his tail between his legs and would not play and I had to pick him up and put him in my lap. He did not eat and seemed in pain so I rushed him to vet. It was his back and xrays showed some trouble in spine but his stomach was clear of foreign objects. He was given holistic pills for inflamation and to help his immune system but the immune system one made him violently sick. He had not eated at that point in two days and when he did try he would vomit every ten minutes for an hour. He was taken off that pill but then refused to eat and lay in his dark crate for three days not wanting food and only sips of water, the vet was perplexed and so was I. He finally ate on his 5th day when I offered him ground sirloin. Then with constant contact with vet he finally went poop but has been having problems with that as it is constipation and dry so we are working on that now. Racer is not his funny antic self and has been very sick. He will not play and is only finally getting in to my lap as he wanted no one around him. He is making progress little by little . Please keep healing thoughts for Racer.
