Jasper Update

Hi there everybody, Jasper's mom here. I am sorry that we have not been very active lately, but Jasper has been under the weather. For the last month and a half, his appetite has been off and he's not drinking as much water as he should be. He also gets worn out quicker than normal. I took him in this past Tuesday and had some bloodwork done, and the results and treatments recomended by the doctor have left me feeling uneasy. His red and white blood cell counts were both low, and the xrays show that there might be something stuck in his intestines but they are not sure and want to wait another week or two and then check again... oh and put him on a multivitamin. Oh, and I paid $400 for that...

So today I have made another appointment with a different vet's office that 2 people in my office use. They do all of the digital xrays and ultrasounds in house with a specialist that is on staff. I know my dog and I know that he's not "just getting older". He's 4 years old, not 8. If there is something stuck in his intestines it needs to come out before it gets toxic. He has never walked away from his food before, and there are times now when he will only eat if I hand feed him. I am so worried about my baby, he is my world. I will try to keep everyone up to date on how things are going and would appreciate any good thoughts and/or prayers for Jasper.
