Sick as a Dog

Jake, our labrador/collie puppy is sick. Yesterday, since we noticed that he'd had a couple of accidents in the house, we put him in his cage and closed the door. Then, throughout the night we heard him vomiting in his cage. I tried and was able to sleep despite the "characteristic" sounds coming from his cage. Then, early this morning, Jennie, my wife/better half, let him out of his cage and let him go outside.

My job is to clean the cage. Basically that just means laundering the blankets and washing the cage. Fortunately for me, there's not much to it.

So, we'll be monitoring him today. We have some NutriCal, which is a nutrient gel that we can feed him. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't eat much today.

Poor guy.
