Question about Prescription Diet

    • Gold Top Dog
    I can't spell it either.  It's a dyslexic's worst nightmare.  I call it hurry-up-and-get-there.  I had a friend who had various precise terms for each level of, you know - from pudding butt to water butt.  Breaking into the fostering experience added a couple, thanks to brushes with the various lovely things that shelter dogs can bring to a household.  Most famous was fire-hydrant-butt, for the projectile explosion associated with giardhia.  [8|]

    I just realized that Colby is a Ridgeback.  Duh.  Sorry 'bout that!

    Okay - I will consider myself (and Colby) very fortunate not to have experienced the fire-hydrant butt -wow! We've been lucky with just the pudding butt - but man is the little fellow sore! Usually when his temp is taken, he doesn't even notice, but yesterday he screamed like a little girl. It took the vet and two techs to hold him long enough to get a reading.
     
    The good news is, I think the microbial gel, the bland diet, and time have helped his upset. He didn't go since noon yesterday (which of course got me worried about the opposite problem - ha), but this morning he was back to normal - no pudding or straining. [;)] He's acting like he feels better too - remembering how fun being a brat is.
     
    Ha- that's okay about not realizing he is an RR - sometimes I think I've been given a horse in disguise!
