Update:  Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile, you can blame Doc for that! He is getting so rambunctious but I don't mind; he's still my baby.

Since we got Doc, as most of you may know, he has had bowel issues. He has been to the vet about six times in the month or so we've had him. Right now, he is at the vet waiting for Dr. Lang to check up on his bowels, which, to me seem to be getting normal. We went to see Dr. Lang this afternoon, before I took Doc shopping, and he was on lunch. We went shopping came back and he was still out so the clinic is keeping him until about 2:30-3:00.

The people at Petland can't quit talking about Doc and they all played with him. We had to get him a new collar cause he outgrew the harness already. I got him some tennis balls now that he knows how to catch and some teething stuff to stop his biting!

I'll update you later on his bowel issues.

Update:  We thought Doc was better...and he was. We have been pulling hair balls from his anus all week. We think this was the issue all along. Right now my brother is down stairs with him waiting. Poor Doc is whining and crying in pain and I feel so helpless. I don't mind babying him though. I'll keep you all posted.

Update: Doc is about eighty percent or so better. He is still straining to go to the bathroom but his bobo isn't as swollen as it was. On a good note, he's beginning to go to the patio door when he has to go. Also, he's beginning to bite and growl like no other.

Update: My poor baby has Gardia. His anal area is so swollen that the vet couldn't get a fecal loop on him and had to try three times! Poor thing. Tests came back negative for Gardia, but the doctor is almost positive that's what my boy has and is treating him for it. Doc is very tired from his first vet visit, but I'm sure he'll be playing again soon!

Update: Doc went to the bathroom about six times last night. He still has diarrhea but it now seems to be forming. He didn't eat or drink last night...he just slept. When I took him out this morning, he ate, drank, went outside and even attacked me with kisses. Seems like a happy pup to me.

Update: Poor Doc is sleeping on my dad's desk while he browses the web. He has the runs, and has thrown up and refuses to eat. We got him some gatorade and pepto bismol to, hopefully, help him be a puppy and not sick.

Update: Doc is now living happily in our home. He's been doing nothing but sleeping all day. Poor little guy is sick, the breeder said so at least. Calling the vet up the street in the morning to see if we can fit him in. In the end though, he's still the most adorable little guy ever!

We took him to PetLand after we got him in Adkins, TX and everyone in the store wanted to pet him. Everyone wanted to dognap him and take him home. Too bad. He's mine.

I will keep you all updated on his health.
