good lord. I'm so sorry this is happening right now. I'm glad your dog walker is being proactive and getting him treated. He's in good hands and will soon be in your arms too. *hugs*
Oh mp, I'm sorry. I just read about Herman. If it's any consolation at all, I had to rush my guy to vet several months ago with similar symptoms and they not only fixed him right up with an IV, a Cerenia injection, and meds for the diarrhea, but we figured out that he has IBD and we've been successful with managing it with diet. Of course, on the ride there I was a mess and convinced it was something terrible. Big hugs and good thoughts. ❤
He's my sensitive dog and has stress puked before so I'm hoping all the chaos and emotions with the dog sitter dealing with Hermie dying just threw him off his game. The vet gave him some meds to calm his tummy but I asked him to run blood work as well just in case. I'm flipping my shit.
It's terrifying when our babes are sick (yes, my dog is my baby) and we just want them to be okay. I feel you.

I'm mostly flipping out just because I'm so far away. I feel helpless with one dog dead and another sick.
Of course you do! I would feel exactly the same. You just want to be there right now. I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs.

Ohhh, the stress response makes SO much sense. He will be on the mend in no time with some mommy TLC. You can help each other through this. I can't even imagine how hard it is to be away, but you will be home soon. Hang in there. Sending good thoughts to you and your pups.

mp I was going to ask if he was sensitive. My dog gets stressed and gets sick, and your poor pups have had some upset with losing Hermie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's something simple like that.
It's okay to not be okay right now. And I know I said it on FB but you gave Hermie THE BEST life for the last of the time he was here on earth. I just know that between getting Ninja to the vet quickly and running those extra tests that he will be fine and you can take that stress of your mind. So many hugs, dear.

Good lord! You need a break!
It's okay to be feeling as you are. I'd be the same or worse. Sending more hugs and good vibes that all that is wrong with Ninja is that he wants his mommy and will be better soon. Hope you make it home safely and as quickly as possible.
