Continuous prayers going out for Mr. Liam.

Glad to hear he is doing better and picking up weight.

Just wanted to let you know that I am sending healing thoughts to Liam and hoping to hear of his continued improvement. You've had a tough year dealing with your dad, Liam's torsion and Natalies pyometra. I pray that this is the last crisis you face for some time.

Thoughts are with you, you've definitely been challenged this year, I hope Liam is on the upswing now. I'm sure you are so sad and frustrated!

YES!!! Liam is at 18.3 pounds - up from 17.7 last week. The meds seem to have worked. The vet was really really happy with Liam. I will continue with the famotidine until it is finished and with the FortiFlora for a while more. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts and prayers. We think it all comes down to stress and grief and having no job to do.

Quick update on Liam - he is now holding steady at 18.6. I am still trying to get weight on him - ideally I would like him between 19 and 20. He still continues to reach high for stuff. Once again he got the tub stopper and then chewed the handle on a disposable razor, which he has never touched before. He seems to be trying to find stuff I have touched with in the last few days of his getting at it. He is almost done the famotidine but we will continue to monitor his condition and if needed back he goes to Dr. Ivan.

Once again, thank you to all of you for your love and support and prayers for me, not just with the dog issues but everything that I have gone through. I am looking at getting Liam into classes, possibly working towards an obedience title on him and giving him something to do to release some of his high high energy (sometimes I think he is a BC in Sheltie clothing).
