SUNDAY / WILSON SICK

SUNDAY

5-15-2022

Up at 8AM. Got to sleep late.

Wilson was still sleeping on the dog bed and he would not get up. 

I got dressed and made lattes. Then went to make the bed and Wilson was still on dog bed. 

Hubby had made dog breakfast eggs and Wilson would not come out to eat. I picked him up off the bed and he was groggy, lethargic. Would not stand up by himself. 

Hubby carried him to the patio for potty, But Wilson would not stand up. He was shaking and feeble.

So Hubby got dressed. 

We took the Dually and drove to St George to the Southwest Emergency Vet Clinic. Took the back way, but traffic was not backed up yet. Got Wilson checked in by 11AM St George Time. 

We drove to 5 Guys to get lunch. I had not had breakfast and was starving. We stopped at the cemetery and walked dogs. Wilson actually walked, but did not pee or poo. Tater peed several times.

Hubby waited in the truck while I took Wilson in the Vet's office. The doctor FINALLY came after waiting in the office for 1 hour. They took Wilson for labwork, bloodwork, and x-rays. It would take 20 minutes and I waited in the truck with Tater & Hubby. Hubby had taken Tater for a walk. It was HOT TODAY. 102 degrees. Had to keep truck running with A/C on. Gave Tater lots of water. 

Hubby went back in when the receptionist came out to get us. I waited with Tater and walked him again. 

After another 1 hour, Hubby came out carrying Wilson. He said that they had found impacted bowels on x-ray. So they gave Wilson an Enema and poo came out! 

Wilson started running around after all the poo came out. 

We drove back home. Stopped in Littlefield, but they had no power. So no fuel and no lottery tickets. 

Drove back to Mesquite. Saw traffic backed up for 3 miles. 

Stopped at Dairy Queen for malts. Hubby got a cherry malt, I got a vanilla malt. THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE. Sugar and bread after 3 months of no food like that. 

At home, we let dog out for potty. I pottied. Hubby brought everything from the truck.

We watched TV & rested. Hubby fell asleep on the sofa. I took a nap on the sofa. 

I went to bed at 9PM, I was hot, sweaty, exhausted.

In the middle of the night, Wilson was whining and had to get up for poopy outside. Hubby got up about 10 times for him.
