Had a scare with Monty. He quit eating last Friday. He tried eating grass outside and had bad diarrhea on Sunday and Monday. I took him to the vet on Monday and Monty had lost over a pound since his annual appointment 3 weeks ago. Monday and Tuesday he still wouldn't eat except for a piece of bacon, which he ate Tuesday night. We would drink water so we got some of that Gatorade water that is full of electrolytes. He seemed a little better yesterday morning and when we got home from work, we gave him some soft dog food (which we had tried to get him to eat for several days). He ate all that we gave him! I didn't want to give him to much since be really hadn't eaten in several days but this morning he was acting back to normal and wanted his treat when he came inside! That made me so happy as I think he is over the hump now. I know he can't live forever (he is 15) but I sure hope I have him around for a bit longer. I can't wait to see him when I get home today. Hopefully he will eat some more.

Hope Monty continues to do well. 16 is a long time for a dog and particularly a purebred. Best wishes for you all.
