Good news Val.
Did they put him on a special diet?
My dog Fritz was....well sicker than a dog, last year. He got into my Chocolate stash after Christmas. I love bitter-sweet Chocolate and my kids always send me some.
Any way, bonehead ate one of those Giant sized Hershey Bars. He also like the box of Chocolate Covered Cherries. He stareted acting listless and wouldn't eat or drink anything. I didn't know he had gotten into the candy so I couldn't tell the vet much and Fritz wasn't talking while the flavor lasts. So she started with the basics.
Put him on a special diet, Rice, Hamburger, canned veggies and Chicken Boullion. Meanwhile back at the ranch I had discoverd what he had gotten into and called her back. She said continue with the diet and the Medicine she gave me.
In a couple of days he started to get better. She said we were lucky cause that stuff he ate would kill most dogs.
I have now hidden my stash in another totally inaccessible place.
I have always admired Veterinarians, their patients can't talk. The "Doc" has to start from scratch.
Glad to hear Grits is getting better.
Best wishes, Bill
