Beth here with an update....

As of yet the meds are not working.  
The Dr. had said it would stop it cold!  
Not yet....
however, we were only up 
once during the night and he DID sleep!  
I can't imagine the guy has 
anything left in him as he hasn't 
eaten since Thursday night at 6. 

Meds again this morning -- 
we are making him boiled hamburger and rice. 
That is what the Dr. told us to give him today. 
I hope he is hungry.  

I am certain this must be just a "flu type bug".  
I get a little over reactive as it was 
at this age I lost my Samuel, 
Remington's half brother....  
Not at all the same situation but I have 
been flooded with many feelings 
I did not care to remember....
just so you can understand 
why I am acting so strange....

I did see a twinkle in Remington's eye this morning.  
He keeps telling me to remember 
that he IS a Dr. and that he concurs with 
everything his Dr. is prescribing.  
He is such a brainiac!

Will keep you posted as to how his day goes.

Thank you again for all of the comments, 
emails and phone calls!  
It has been so nice to hear from everyone.  
We appreciate it more than you will ever know!

Oh yeah, and if Remington happens 
to cross your mind today 
a quick prayer certainly would be appreciated!

Beth

Totally understand your concern. Boiled chicken is good too so you just treat Rem and love him. He will be okie dokie in no time.

Oh Beth I am so sorry to hear about Remington still having the sickies. I'm sure it is just the flu and he'll be better very soon now. In the meantime I am continuing to send my super strong Sarge vibes for healing and comfort. All of Blogville is doing the same. Hugs to all of you.

Hi Beth, We will be praying. I'm not a vet but when my dogs are sick like Remington, my vet will give them IV fluids. That treatment has helped my dogs. Poor Remington, I hope he is back to normal soon.

Morning Beth, Mike and Rem...
You all cross our minds each and every day several times and we'll be saying prayers each time!! I expect the sweet boy must be getting a little hungry. I hope by now he has been able to eat a little hamburger and rice!! Getting up only once last night is an improvement.
We'll say in touch.
Love, Hugs and purrs

Oh Beth I can understand why you are feeling so worried now, know that we are all rooting for your beautiful boy and if he has a twinkle in his eye then hopefully he is feeling a bit better. Sometimes these meds take a little longer than the vets say they will in my experience .
Hang on in the honey
Love

We totally understand your concern and don't think you're overreacting at all! I'm so glad you were able to consult with your vet so quickly and to start the meds - especially given that they aren't an immediate reactive.
Remington AND YOU are in my prayers today. Wish I could deliver hugs to both of you. Hang on - God is listening! And He loves both of you very much.

Millie and Walter said...

I don't think any of your readers will think you are over reacting when it comes to any of your fur kids health. I hope today will find Rem eating some and keeping it down.

Mom couldn't make her coffee and turn the 'puter on fast enough this am to find out how your night was, Rem.

We are praying that today is better and the burger and rice do the trick.

Please give Beth a big hug for us, our mom would react the exact same way!!

Scooter said...

Addy has been sick too and the DR told us to give her chicken and rice and she has pills too and so far it is working!! She is gobbling up the chicken and rice,

Beth,

I am just hearing about Remington and his problems. I haven't had time to blog or read any posts lately, just read the emails in Maggie's account and saw the updates from Cecilia.
Please know that I am praying for him and for you and Mike.

Blessings and Love,
Janelle, Maggie Mae and Max

Kelli Fannin Quilts said...

Oh Beth, you are not at all acting strange! Just reading your posts brought back all the anxiety I had surrounding Buster's black widow bite! I have been thinking of you and praying for the best for Remington! I was just talking about it to my husband this morning. I didn't know you had lost Remi's half brother at this age, of course that would cause added stress. You have lots of online supporters and prayers, and believe me, you are not acting strange!! We are all here for you! Remington is so lucky to be loved by you and Mike!!

Well, I am not happy. I wish you would get him into the vet so they could do an x ray to see if there's something going on.

I've been thinking of him a lot.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family that Remy gets better soon !

Ginny Hartzler said...

Beth, I have been praying for Rem! And I definitely do not think you are overreacting! I am wondering if this is something like we humans get, the stomach flu or a touch of a gastrointestinal upset...if that is the case, it rarely lasts more then one or two days...please continue to let us know...rice is very good for stomach problems.

KT and Easton said...

Awww gee Beth, we are so sorry to hear the big guy is ailing. Please know that we have fingers and paws crossed for Rem to get better.
