We've had such a good weekend with Barkley, but last night wasn't the greatest. He was having trouble settling down for bed. I've been leaving both dogs in the basement overnight for the last few weeks because of his diarrhea (much easier to clean up the basement than the dusty rose carpets in the house!), but he's had a good few nights so I thought I'd try him back up in the bedroom with us.
He was panting - and I'm trying to figure out if it's more than usual or not. It was enough that it sent my husband to the couch. He did settle down and slept through the night (both husband and dog!) eventually.
This morning we woke up at our usual time, and I took a minute to go to the washroom upstairs. By the time I got to the head of the stairs, he was squatting at the bottom having a little pee on the carpet. He is drinking a lot and although he ate all the canned food in his breakfast, he didn't finish the dry.
And of course I have to go to work today ... no option to stay home with him as I did that two days last week before the diagnosis.
Ick. I'm not going to like this - I can already tell.
I'm so glad I found this board - you folks are amazing.
