yes, but do you have matching wakko and dot dolls? i think NOT!

i know this is lil too picturesque but... Cody is a golden, and hence, a shedder... His discharge always looked a bit .. woolly and i took this as normal...

when Nikki first came to us, she didn't exhibit the wooly poopy symptom. now, a month later, her fecal matter is also beginning to look a lil hairy. i understand dog hair's also keratinized proteins (keratin) and the disulfide bonds can't be broken down by stomach acids, etc. i know dog hair can cause constipation, but Cody has never had a problem w/ the hair issue. but every lil change in the St. Bernard puppy makes me nervous so i'd figure i'd get the general consensus on this matter.

(and yes, i know grooming, constant bushing, Swifter'ing my hardwood floors 6x a day can help alleviate this, but you know... it is what it right now..    )

i hope this becomes an annual (or seasonal?) event... cuz i won't be back to SoCal til NEXT September

need.. more.. Saints at the bach...

ugh.. *ditto to what everyone said*

it's so stressful when your doggie's sick

ooo... cell phone talk.. 
this is mine:

slider, bluetooth, cam *useless*, etc.

for the truly geek in you read:

it's hard to buy a phone w/o cam nowadays. 90% of the phonecams are useless cept for doing freaky things in victoria's secret changing rooms, etc. unless, of course, you're korean... cuz then you can be jocking some 2.1mp cam phones w/ flash...

* sigh of relief *
gf went home early to doggy sit. nikki finished a whole can of Natural Balance wet, drank a lil water, ate her amoxycilin / anti-diarreal and is now playing w/ cody.

i'm going to buy some canned pumpkin tonite to mix w/ rice, and t'row morn after her meal, we're try the deworming med again...

i'm so PO'd at my neighbors right now!

** she has refused to eat in almost 36 hrs (canidae, natural balance canned, peanut butter)

** last nite, 2 hrs after feeding her the de-worming pill, nikki (7 months) hurled up the horse pills + the amoxycilin + the anti-diarrheal meds from earlier in the nite. possibly overmedicated on empty stomach?

** this morn, she woke up thirsty, drank ~3 qts of water, threw up clear water 30 minutes later.

** vet recs no more water/food for 2 - 3 hrs, then feed 2 more amoxycilin caps + 1 anti-diarrheal tablet.

** vet recs if no improvement by today, off to the animal hospital for overnite observation

i'm friggin lost at work here... ditto the SO, neither of us can be home til 1pm... i hate to be a capitalist, but our budgetary constraints really prohibit an extended hospital stay. this MORBID feeling is beginning to shroud me...
