KARMA...
On Wednesday after eating Barney got the runs. Seemed okay, in good spirits, figured it was a one and done thing. Nope. He woke me up 3 times during the night by poking me multiple times on whatever skin he could find with his cold wet nose until I'd get up so he could go poop. And then woke me up again at 6am for another. He seemed okay during the day (only 2 bad poos) and then last night decided I was his slave to his whims - got me up twice. Once just because he wanted rubbies at 1:30am and once because he was hungry at 5am (cause we only fed him a bit of rice).
I don't know how you moms do it. I'm exhausted from not sleeping two nights. Each and every single one of you are rock stars for doing this for night in and night out.
Aw, poor Barney! I hope he gets better, but if his system is still dodgy I'm not working Monday or Tuesday next week if you need a dog-sitter during the day.
I'd take a stool sample to the vet. Sheldon had this same thing happen and had some kind of bacteria in his gut that needed to be treated with abx and probiotics.
