sick puppy?

Not sure what is going on with the puppy this morning. Let him sleep in the bed for quite a while last night before i put him in the crate. Sometime between then and 5:20 am, he puked a whole bunch in his crate. I didn't notice for some reason when the alarm went off so let him out where he pooped and peed like normal and then i fed them. He wasn't interested in his food but seemed fine. Waited and waited and then gave up and took him back upstairs when I found the puke. It looked like not solid food but mashed up food which scared me. He ate last night at 6 ish so he should have digested his food by the time he would have thrown up. Of course the first thing I thought of was obstruction! I put him back in the bed with me and he slept in till 7 and then we got back up. He was hungry and that point and ate his food and is now playing. I am going to call the vet and make sure I don't need to bring him in. I may take the day off if I need to. He is currently playing like crazy with Harley so seems fine.

I didn't take him with me last night when I took Miller to Topeka to the chiropractor. I was talking about him to Dr. G and he made the comment that Deuce is going to be bigger than Miller (not good) and that he won't be very agile. Really hurt my feelings. I don't want a huge dog as it won't be good for agility and will be a ton harder on their joints to be big and doing agility. I guess if he can't do agility well, we will do herding or obedience or something different but I really want another agility dog. I wouldn't mind having a dog jump in the 24 inch class but that totally screws me in USDAA once again. He would either have to jump 26 inches or be put in performance like miller. Not that i don't like competing in performance but would like to have at least one dog in the championship level.

On to miller news. So i took Miller to the chiropractor yesterday. He watched him walk alot and said he looked alot more lame than the last two times (he seems better to me) he saw him. Worked on him for a while and of course adjusted different things which is good, not the same adjustment every time. The other vet Dr. S did some chinese medicine with him and some acupuncture on his knee. Not sure why they think it is in his knee as they don't think it is ligament or joint but they don't know what it is. I called my vet last night and we talked for a long time and he is going to call some vets up at KSU today and see what they can figure out that we need to do diagnostic wise. He was throwing around words like MRI or CT-Scan and I was about to pass out! Those cost a ton of money to do! At this point, nationals is not in the picture at all and we might be taking at least 2 months off, if not more. Dr. J, my vet, also knows someone that has a nice clinic in Mission KS that could do some work on him as well. It would be great if I could get him in at KSU and do some physical therapy there. If it is a soft tissue injury, we need to be doing PT right now. I can attest to how much soft tissue injuries suck and am still battling mine! I will do everything in my power to fix him and get him better so this may be a very long and interesting journey.
