We traveled on Sunday into Oregon and are now at a campground in Trail, Or.\u00a0 It’s a very small town right along the Rogue River, about 25 miles north of Medford and 5 miles north of Shady Cove.<\/p>\n
We’re planning to visit Crater Lake and also see the area, but our plans have been disrupted a bit as Laddy has been sick.\u00a0 It seems like he’s got the flu that Jeff and I had several weeks ago, he’s vomiting and can’t keep any food down and doesn’t have any energy.\u00a0 After a day of not keeping even water down we called a local vet and they were able to see him the same afternoon, but they don’t know what’s going on.\u00a0 The doctor gave him an anti-vomiting shot and we’re now watching him closely and giving him sips of water that he’s now able to keep down.\u00a0 He has no interest in any food, and it’s been 2 days since he’s had any food.\u00a0 But, he has a little more life in his eyes and is able to rest a bit more than yesterday when he mostly paced around in obvious discomfort.\u00a0 If he can’t eat anything in the morning we’ll have to take him back to the vet and see if he can figure out what the heck is going on.<\/p>\n
So…for now we’re just hanging around the trailer.\u00a0 Hopefully in a day or two Laddy will be back to his usual energetic and happy self and we can get back to sight-seeing!<\/p>\n
An update to this post on Thursday afternoon – Wednesday we took him back to the vet as he wasn’t showing any interest in any food, although he was keeping small amounts of water down.\u00a0 They made him swallow barium and then took a series of X-rays as the barium flowed through his digestive system.\u00a0 It showed a foreign object blocking his intestines quite a ways in.\u00a0 He had to have emergency surgery but is recovering nicely and should be able to come home tomorrow or Sunday.\u00a0 It’s apparently a cloth toy he ate a few weeks ago while we were at the Park of the Sierra.\u00a0 We knew he’d eaten one and it passed within a day or so, so he must have eaten TWO things!\u00a0 Argh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
