Rays for Sarge

[DeeanDave]

Sarge is not feeling too good -- we are thinking a tummy-ache/gas.  Will keep an eye on him and see how the day progresses......any extra rays would be welcomed.

Sarge is not doing well.....have a 3:30 appointment with his vet.  Hate to wait until then but I couldn't get an earlier appointment for him with the vet I want to see him.  There was an earlier one but it would have been with the vet that doesn't get along with me........I don't think I could handle her today.

Update.....First thank you for the rays!  We are back from the vets (a few hours ago)...by the time, I took him in, his gait/balance with his little legs just wasn't there.....sort of reminded me of the one who may have had a bit too much of the hard drink....a bit staggering but showed no signs of pain and never yelped or cried.  He passed gas all day long even in his sleep....could definitely clear the room.  He is drinking water, and peeing and tail wagging.  No poop until we were at the doc's office.  So while there, the doc poked and probbed, set him on the floor and watched him slip on their slippery floor.  We had blood work done today....counts were okay....his calcium was a bit high but liver and kidneys okay.  Doc thought two possibilities.....that he picked up a gastrointestinal virus which has made him weak, therefore, the walk/balance issue or there could be a neuro disease.  So, today we started him on antibiotics for the virus which was started tonight and if no marked improvement in the morning, then we will have diagnostic xrays done tomorrow morning. 

This evening, he was sleeping on some of the blankets and saw Reagan running around.....he immediately perked up his ears and watched her and then he got off the bed of blankets and walked (at a pretty good clip) to where she was.......maintained his balance/gait so much better than he had been.  Could tell that he ran out of energy because when he got to where she was, he lost his balance a bit but sat down and stayed there for a few minutes and then burrowed under the blanket bed by the chair (where she was).  He was quick enough that I wasn't able to stop him from walking to her.

So, I'm praying hard that the antibiotics help and that he has the virus and can be treated and that it is not neuro related.  Tonight we are all sleeping on the living room floor.....don't want him to try and get off the bed using the ramp and lose his balance and fall.
