Woe is Me

It has not been a good month for me. I have been unwell and, although I am starting to get better, it is very slow going. 


Me sleeping. See my big tummy :(
My tummy started being extra finicky last August. It started when my weather-related skin allergy started up again and it became an infection extremely fast. My human called the man with the needles -- I hear them call him Vet. He gave my favorite human some paper that had the name of medicine written on it but it wasn't written in Dog so I couldn't read it. 

My favorite human got the medicine and she started giving it me -- as if I didn't know she was hiding it in my treats. But after two days, I started feeling sick. My pee went bright yellow and even my paws looked yellower than ever before. My favorite human noticed it at once and she became very worried. 

She changed my food and she got a lot of those things humans call Vitamins. She started feeding me little portions of food every few hours. The food also changed. I was suddenly getting special food and lots of oatmeal which I love! There was also more fruits in our home and I was sooooo happy I could have bananas and apples -- even though those pills were in the bananas. I heard the Vet say I had jaundice. 

All the yellow went away after a while and I was feeling fine then my tummy started acting funny. It became big and heavy. My favorite human got scared again. The next morning she told me I would be riding in the car! I love riding in the car so I jumped in the seat at lay down on my favorite blanket that was there. She took me to a long ride and I loved all the smells. I saw lots of tress and cows and dogs along the way. 

But she stopped the car where the other man with needles hides. That made me scared. There were other dogs there but they looked scared too. When my favorite human took me inside this room, the man with the needles touched my tummy. Then he made my human lay me down and he pricked my behind with needles! I wanted to cry but I tried to be brave. He gave me three shots. That hurt and I felt really sore.


My yucky tasting medicines
Then they talked for a while before I got to ride back home. My humans made me go back there for three days. The needles really hurt bad on the last day and I just couldn't be brave anymore so I cried. 

That was three weeks ago. My tummy is still big and my favorite human is still worried. She makes sure I have something to eat every few hours and I love the stuff she gives me to eat. But I don't like those ghastly tasting medicines. The pills are okay because she puts them inside delicious stuff like bananas and boiled potatoes -- even in small pieces of cheese! But the dark colored liquid stuff tastes foul. 

My humans give me treats after I take the medicine but I still try to hide when I see that big tube where they put that smelly stuff -- ugh!!!  My favorite human says the stuff is supposed to make me better but my tummy still feels funny and its still big. :(

Jyoti picks fights with me too. :(

I hope next month will be much better.
