Traveling Dog
We left for Missouri today (a four hour drive). I was a little concerned about Noah making the trip so soon after chemo but I think he’s doing just okay. He had some bad gas last night. Which—yet again I’m talking about something gross—isn’t normal for him. That made me think he had a bit of an upset tummy. Otherwise, though, he seemed okay. On our morning walk sure enough he had just a slight touch of runny poo. I decided not to give him any food and instead just gave him his meds wrapped in bread & chicken (what he’s been doing for a few days). The car ride itself was a little rough. It was raining from the minute we left and he’s terrified of 1) driving in the rain and 2) windshield wipers (see no. 1). So he panted a lot and was awake the whole time. This is totally normal for him—despite this fact he still loves going bye bye. Nonetheless I kept a close eye on him because I didn’t want him to get too worked up. He had more bad gas along the way, but nothing else seemed to be wrong. For the rest of the day after I arrived in the MO he stayed in his house (crate), which he hates of course. When I got home tonight he was shaking, which worries me of course. But he seems to be acting alright. He ate some dinner and acted very hungry. He also had a regular BM so hopefully his tummy stuff will be resolved. If he’s shaking tomorrow I’ll, of course, be texting Dr. E. Fingers crossed for a good, healthy holiday! (And no more bodily functions talk.)
