pup stomach

Ziggy has stomach upset, which she helped me understand by pooping diarrhea very near me.  Out in the yard, totally appropriate, just funny for how well she communicates with me.  Well, that and I can hear her stomach grumbling from a room away.  Poor baby.

We tried papaya but not enough so she got Kaopectate.  I mixed it up with some white rice and chicken, and she obediently lapped it up. 

I so appreciate her willingness to take medicine and not give me attitude.  I also so appreciate her willingness to never soil the house.  That may of course change when she's 15 and unable to navigate stairs, but for now she is so very well house-trained. 

That was the last of the kaopectate, so I'll plan to go get some pepto-bismol for her.  Poor baby just keeps trying to lie down but has to keep moving, her innards betraying her. 

She was wound up so very tight last night, with behaviors I haven't seen for many months.  INability to calm.  Pacing, panting, barking at slightest provocation, just so very on edge.
