tummy troubles

[schelmischekitty]

just had to take a second to gripe.  diesel was doing SO great with his weight, and now he has tummy trouble.  he's had booty blow out (nice wake up call at 2am) the past 2 days, and so we're holding his food for 24 hours now.  you can really tell it's effecting him physically, if it's not good by tomorrow we'll be making a run for endsorb or something of the sort to help him be "normal" again and see what exactly is causing this.  he was puking, but has stopped, hubby thinks he may have just gotten too hot the past week b/c it's been SO warm here, and when diesel's outside he insists on laying in the sun (if he's not ready to come in, he won't let you grab him and just finds a new sun spot away from you, we may do the rope thing starting soon) and comes inside super hot and drooling a hellacious amount.

Awwww, poor Diesel!  Holding on the food for a bit is a good idea, but you could also try some rice/boiled chicken later, just so he has a little bit of food in his tummy.  Hopefully he's not dehydrated, does he like ice cubes when he gets hot?  When Koby's been outside running around on warm days I always fill his water bowl with bunches of ice cubes and he LOVES it.

unfortunately, diesel can be hard to please.  he'll eat chicken but not rice, so i may try just a little chicken tomorrow morning and see what happens.  he'll also not touch ice cubes, or drink his water if they're in there.  it "scares" him that something new is in the bowl!
