As some of you know Jax was very sick back in December. He was down to 2 1/2 pounds, which his usual weight is between 3 1/2 and four!!! He was very dehydrated & throwing up CONSTANTLY we took him to the doctor & found out he was very dehydrated & needed two 8 hour days of being hooked to an IV to get re hydrated. They found blood in his urine & had to have a special ultra sound person come in to look at his kidneys because he was so small. Sure enough our Baby boy had a kidney infection, his doctor said kidney infections in small male dogs are very uncommon & most likely they won't make it. As you can imagine I was a total wreck for days.Besides Greg, Jax has been my constant companion for 2 yrs. Greg got him for me specifically because we were moving to n.Carolina summer of 2009 for Greg's job & knew I needed a puppy so I didn't get lonely while Greg was at work. Sure enough the day we brought him home he was a total mamma's boy!!! we go everywhere together & people come up & give him attention which he loves,We cuddle, play,& he loves me no matter if I am sad,angry or happy.
So the doctor gave us some meds for him to take for one month to see if the kidney infection would go away. After he was re hydrated he stopped throwing up. For a the whole month I was worried sick but prayed he would be ok. I don't have a baby yet but right now Jax is my baby & I know I will love my kids the exact same way & be just as worried & paranoid. We took him in after a month of worrying, & forcing him to take nasty meds every day & they took a urine sample & turns out our prayers had been answered The infection was gone & he was back to his healthy weight & perfectly healthy. He is back to play fighting with Greg, jumping high in the air excited to see us when we get home & playing with his toys!!! We love him so much & even Greg was upset during that month, well that & he didn't want to see his wife have a complete meltdown. I love my boys so much & they will always be the two most important priorities in life well I am sure I will add our baby to that list when that day comes!!!
