He's fine, back, and better than ever ;)

So the little diarrhea and vomit update was a definite scare, but for the past 3 days he's had solid poop! Woo-hoo! And he's acting just like himself again.
Check out our latest youtube video! :)

A ... semi-positive update.

It seems to be the food causing the trouble. LUCKILY when he's on an empty stomach he feels fine, but the problem is... he has to eat. So it's something... an irritation, a virus? I'm not sure. He's doing fine without it, and is back to his old self, but he just feels crappy half of the time due to food and liquids in his stomach. It isn't his food - water seems to prompt diarrhea too? Or somehow, I'm not sure what's going on.
We may call the vet tomorrow.
I'm not letting him give up, not now and not ever. He has a bright future ahead of him. He's going to make it... <3

Depressing News: I'm Scared Again.

Souljur was doing fine up until about 4 days ago.
He had diarrhea so bad it was just liquid. Last night was his worst - I got up at midnight, 2:45am, 4:45am, 6am, and then finally 8am because he had to go and couldn't hold it. This seemed to have come out of nowhere and his diarrhea is literally liquid.

He's not drinking enough for my liking and he wasn't interested in food until I hand fed it to him (then he ate it on his own although he only wants his kibbles, not the brown rice).

He's vomitted quite a bit as well. By quite a bit I mean at least twice this morning.

This literally came out of nowhere - and he's acting lethargic again. He doesn't want to move, exercise, or play. It's just like before he had to go into surgery except this time I didn't see him eat anything bad and I've been monitoring him like a hawk so none of this makes any sense. He was doing fine up until, randomly, 4 days ago. He'd had diarrhea but it was... at least SOME mass, not... liquid.

I messaged some of my friends about what to do. I'm trying bland diet and possibly switching to a grain-free one as his food has given him problems before (although eventually he settled down with it and it worked well for him until his surgery).

I'm a wreck again. In tears. I don't understand what could've happened, I really don't. I'm scared. If I don't reply a lot, it's because I'm too busy taking care of him, but I thought I'd let all of our supporters know what's up. It's probably nothing because he's had this before (not this... bad), but whatever. The surgery traumatized me I suppose.

So now that he's healthy...

We're trying to train new tricks! He already knows over 50, but he LOVES to work. The hard part is trying to figure out new tricks for him to do :) he's so terribly smart.

He looks just like a dingo! I need to get comparison photos...

So Updates...

It's taken me a while to update and I apologize. Four days ago Soul got his staples out and he's doing VERY well! We even started off leash walks and he's doing amazingly.
If he's too far ahead he'll stop, if he lags behind and I move forward he'll follow, if we're heeling and he's too far apart from me I'll snap my fingers and he'll move closer. If he's in a really epic sniff and I call him, he'll come. If he's going too fast and I tell him to "slow", he will. He doesn't take off running through the huge canyon we live at either.

I'll have to get a video, I'm thinking of making an off-leash tutorial... what do you think? He's TERRIBLY responsive to cues and my voice, it just makes him all the more endearing :)

The image attached is a "sneak peek" of a new trick we're developing ;)

He went poop today but it was diarrhea... on his little care sheet it says that if he has diarrhea we're supposed to not put him back on his regular feed. But they don't say whether to keep him on it if the diarrhea is BECAUSE of the sudden change from bland to kibbled feed so... I guess we'll just keep it up! I think he'll be okay. He didn't purge this morning either so... YAAAY.

I can't wait for Monday.
Today actually marks our 6th month and 3 week anniversary!
I'm just sitting around and waiting for when he gets his staples out.... we're going to go midday Monday or something, I think I'm just going to have to cope until then.
