When I went to bed last night, Rascal was lying on the foot of the bed. He laid there for a couple of hours. Eventually, he left the bed and spent the rest of the night in the pet carrier. I got up once and he seemed fine. This morning, after I woke up and …

So far, so good.
I got home around 6 PM this evening. I stopped at the grocery store and picked up some baby food (lamb) and some Pedialyte. The vet said that these might make him feel a little better. At this point, anything we can get him to eat and drink is good. The lamb will digest easier …
