Gavin had to see the vet today.  Diagnosed with bacterial enteritis, poor guy has had vomiting and bloody diarhea.  Vet gave him antibiotics and a shot for the nausea.  Vet said he probably got it because of his poor condition when we pulled him from the shelter.  And the poor guy cringes and tries to hide when he gets sick because he thinks he's going to get in trouble for it.

I felt so bad for him, he's just had such bad luck with trying to survive on the streets of Atlanta, being in the shelter, etc.  that I bought him a little bed so he could sleep in our room and a new toy.  He plays with plushies a lot now and got all happy, tail wagging, wiggling happy when he saw it.

Any updates?  How's he doing?

Gavin is MUCH better today!  He has not thrown up or pooped since we went to the vet.  The vet gave me a paste for the diarhea and it is really working.  He has been eating today, small amounts at a time as I'm afraid to overload his tummy. 

He is such a handsome boy too. Funny how new toys cheer them up!!  I am so happy  he is getting the care he needs, I wish all the dogs that are out there right now struggling for survival had homes to love them and new toys. I hope Gavin finds his home.

Yep, he's still feeling good.  In fact yesterday evening he was playing with the others in the yard and was initiating the play!
