Adi Update -- Ruby (Red) Tuesday

You can see that Adi likes Red. She sniffs out items of Red.

Adi's has been under the weather lately. Her problem was diagnosed as
Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis (HGE) in Dogs (
link).

She spent Sunday, May 17, afternoon and night in the emergency clinic and doggy dormitory. Then all day Monday until about six.

All that time she was getting fluids and meds by IVs.

When she got home she was on a canned bland canned food diet and gradually she could have her kibbles added.

Too she was taking Flagyl 250 Mg pills, two a day through Friday (10 pills). We finished those Friday evening.



Adi is pretty well recovered now.

She still is inordinately thirsty. I am waiting to see if it could be the canned diet food doing that too her. Otherwise she has a new problem now. Time will tell.

She is in good spirits and feeling chipper, much like her old self. She ha lost some weight but has that put back on now.

Adi did come with us this Sunday to Mrs. Jim's family reunion in Louisiana.


The picture below is to show that our Memorial Day flag is not nearly to be touching on the ground as it is hanging about a foot above.



And Adi? This is her favorite pose. She is busy contemplating something doing something fun. Laying on her Red carpet

Or perhaps she is hoping she go visiting with the residents of our assisted living home tomorrow. I think she will. Of course I go too.

  1. I'm glad that Adi is feeling better. Funny, that's Copper's favorite pose, too.

    I hope you're having a great Memorial Day. We had our BBQ last night to ensue we had the extended family here. Today is a quiet one for us.

    Now, I need to catch up on your posts I missed.

  5. Dear Jim,
    I hope Adi will get better day by day.
    She's so good looking and sure loves being with you, I can see that. That Persian rug sure looked enhanced by Adi decorating it!
    Wish you a happy Ruby Tuesday.

  8. Glad the dog is doing better. Maybe she got dehydrated by some of those IV's.
    Playing golf now?

  11. all kinds of beautiful red but Adi is the one who catches my eye :)

    I'm glad she's feeling better and I hope the thirst is just a reaction to new food, my Mia went through that recently
    cats also drink a lot (don't we all!) when under stress - I don't know if dogs react the same

    big hugs to Adi, she's such a sweet girl

  13. Hi Mr. Jim,

    I just saw the comment you left me awhile back at Pals...thank you! I have missed you lately. I have been soo busy I have no time for blogs anymore :( and I am trying not to get stressed out and all...right now I am leading my church's brand new youth worship team, and it is not as easy task to choose easy songs for teens with little to no musical experience!! I think you should come and sing in the team ;) you could be apart of our youth almuni branch (our bass player who put this idea together is a member of youth almuni!) LOL!

    Sorry to hear Adi was under the weather...we had to put our dog down (cancer) in March and I miss her so much! She was 10 years old.

    God bless y'all richly,
    LPP

  19. here i am mr. jim...i said i would be back.
    yes adi is a true blue american but she doesn't mind coming over to canada once in a while with the other pooches and kitties that belong to the american bloggers.
    pretty soon i had better have adi fly them over again.
    crown of beauty will be letting me take her two doggies, sammy and patches over for a few days.
    samantha is one snobby dog i think, so we will have to put her and princess in separate rooms for sure....ha!!!...love terry
