My new puppy Buddy (short for Boudreaux) is sick. Won't you please pray for him? and for me? and for his jealous big sister Josie?
He is apparently hypoglycemic; today when I got him in to a vet (a neat trick on a day that all the vets think is a holiday, and all the emergency vet clinics think is NOT a holiday...) his blood glucose was 38 - it is supposed to be between 77 and 150. :P
He is being treated now, and they think he can come home this afternoon. Then I need to give him special food and make sure he eats it, and keep him away from Josie, who apparently has been threatening to break his little puppy kneecaps if he doesn't get away from her mommy.
Good news is that the breeders have been wonderful and given lots of advice and support. They've also offered to take him back for nursing if need be, but they are 3.5 hours away and I certainly hope I can manage this on my own.
Thanks.
