Percy & The Little Pooper

We had a little scare yesterday. This little fella, who btw is now called, Percy, decided to get sick on us. He hadn't eaten in 24 hrs... wouldn't drink and started throwing up. I contacted the rescue and they agreed if he was still this way this morning, he needed to see a vet. Well, after letting him lick water off my finger last night for awhile and holding him and coddling him.... I believe we got him over his illness. The little fella was missin his momma!! Just two days after his momma left and he got depressed enough to stop eating. This morning he came out of that kennel like a bullet and went right for the water. and THEN he bullied his way to the center of the food pan. The Littlest Basset and he was unstoppable. I guess he decided to live another day. I'm still going to keep an eye on him, but I do believe he's on his way to a full recovery. I'm not sure what I would have done if I lost one... bad day it would be. Now I can focus more attention to Roux, my little Pooper, who had me up most of last night with diarrhea. She'll get a special diet for the next couple of days..... especially if I have to be picking it up at midnight... and 2 am..... and 3 am.... and 4am!!! Pets.... gotta love 'em!!
