Grizzy eating a bit

Took Grizzy on a walk tonight and he stopped 1 block from home.  This time I just gave a firm grasp and kept walking.  He ate a bit of hamburger and rice, some pumpkin but not his dry food.  I bought some pepto tablets and gave it to him with some peanut butter. Still not 100% by any means but once walking he seemed find.  I think anything with diarrhea doesn't feel like walking much when walking could cause the next event.

Grizzy's gastrointestinal problems

Poor Griz has been suffering with gastrointestinal problems.  He has had diarrhea and vomiting and is not eating much.  He has been to the vet yesterday and all seems normal other than he is having diarrhea and vomiting.

Tonight on his evening walk he even sat down about 1 block from home and refused to continue so we turned back. 

He didn't eat his dry food mixed with water, browned beef and rice this morning.  He ate the probiotic paste and pumpkin.  So tonight he will be getting some rice and beef, with pumpkin and probiotic paste.

Mom to the Rescue!

Since we left Bouncer under the shed over night, we blocked off all openings around the shed with cinder blocks.  I went down at 6:30 this morning, hoping he'd come out, since that is when we go for our walk.  I could hear him, but he did not come.  A half hour later, I had an idea....I popped a bag of popcorn (he comes to the kitchen every time!) and opened the bag and let the steam roll under the shed.  Within the minute he stuck his head out of the hole and reached for the kernels I had placed on the ground.  I stood against the shed, and snapped the collar on. 
 
Bob gave him a bath and the water was a dark brown.  Afterwards, he ran up stairs for me and played just as always.  Bob made sure the collar was fit securely this time!

Still Bad Dog

1:00 AM and B still under shed.  Took him some water.  He started digging and snorting again.  Hope he gets some sleep, I am.

Bad Dog

While Bob was up on the ladder around 5:30 trimming dead limbs, Bouncer got under the shed again.  Trying to coax him out by pulling on the rope his collar came off.  He won't come out even though I can see him.  When reaching to grab a leg he backs off.  Even food wasn't tempting.  So after watching for him to come out thru a t'storm, we gave up and blocked his exit with cinder blocks.  He can stay ender the shed forever as far as I'm concerned.
