To the vet we go...


(Almonn on the way to see the vet)
Mum woke us up this morning to inform us that Almonn had pooed all over the place again, and that his stools had blood in it again. I sprang up from my bed as fast as I could because I was really starting to get worried. He could be having worms inside his intestines, possibly because we had been allowing him to roam about in the grass at the dog runs. And he hasn't been having his annual vaccination. In any case, we brought him to the vet first thing in the morning just in case.
Turned out, his bloody stools could be due to a change in diet or snacks, or "stress". I was wondering to myself what kind of "stress" a dog could have when all he ever does is run around, eat and sleep. Mum said it could be because he hardly sees us nowadays. We leave home early in the morning for work, come back late at night, and even on weekends we are hardly home. He could be lonely. Or perhaps, the typical fear of being abandoned when one grows old?
Anyway, he was to be put on 12-hr fasting period before being allowed to eat steamed rice with minced pork. During this period, he was only allowed to drink H20 to make sure that he would not dehydrate. As expected, this stupid stubborn dog refused to drink that cos I supposed it was too blend for this 少爷. -_-!!!
On a separate note, I attended MS' wedding lunch this afternoon. The best thing that happened was that I got to meet Cdr again! ^ ^ He is by far the bestest boss I've ever had, and I so missed the time working under him...

Haha... I think he's faking it just to get attention. He's fine when my mother gave him rice to eat instead of the normal dry food!
