Watson Back To Almost Normal


Watson nibbled some boiled skinless chicken thighs on Sunday afternoon and by Monday morning was trotting to the mudroom for his breakfast. I gave him half his normal amount of soaked in warm water kibble and he wented more, so I gave him his other half. Monday ate again at lunch.

This morning went outside with the other dogs as always, normal routine and witnessed his first bowel movement in I don't know how long. Too many days. He ate breakfast and went back outside like he was trained to do after every meal since he was 8 weeks old ... another bowel movement.

Not sprinting or running in the backyard but trotting sometimes as he explored the area today. Still sleeping a lot under the open windows. 

Two mobile vets called days ago, left messages about his situation ... no returned calls. 

Things are a lot less stressful around here now with Watson back on his feet without any pain.

Transitioning him to a "sensitive stomach" dog food.

All is good again in "the tropics" of Southern Indiana.

  1. Good to hear that Watson is doing better and his plumbing is working again. Now Walter needs to find a new job. Hope the rest of the week is good for the crew and you.
    Appreciate the update.

    1. Walter is back prepping for a hot summer, lots of sleeping and occasional sunbathing on the patio. Thanks for stopping by.
