Special Needs

Our doggie is a special needs boy.  Tonight he went with me to watch my Little Sister's softball game.  He jumped up on the bleachers and sat right next to me.  He loved being outside.  He's had a rough time adjusting to the new medicines.  Although his itching has decreased drastically, he's been having gastrointestinal issues.  He's woken us up at 4:30 or 5am a few times to go #2 (usually he'd sleep until 8 or 9 if we let him), has thrown up a few times, has had runny stool and bad gas, and has ignored his food a few times.  All of these are unusual, and he's also gone to the potty inside twice.  Very weird behavior for our dog.  We thought maybe he was acting out since Jim's been working, but I don't know that he'd skip his dinner if he was acting out.  I've been coming home at lunch and trying to exercise him every evening.  Poor pup.  Jim called the vet after work and the assistant said to skip his medicine tonight and the vet should call him tomorrow.  So, we have a special needs doggie.
