Sick Puppy :(

On Saturday night John and I gave Carter one of his raw hide bones (peanut butter flavor- he LOVES peanut butter!) to chew on because he had been such a good puppy all day. I know some people are against raw hides, but we asked about them and if supervised they can be fine for dogs. Well we have gotten really good about keeping an eye on him while he chews on one. We take away the pieces as he breaks them off... Expect for Saturday night :(

We were watching him and then all of the sudden part of it was gone. Carter has been sick ever since- no more raw hides for him! I now see why people dont like them :( Luckily, he isnt throwing up or anything but he does have diarrhea. :( poor puppy. he doesnt want to play or anything. He has also lost some of his appetite. I just feel so bad for him. I asked a friend of mine that is in vet school what to do and she said to feed him chicken and rice. He also goes to the vet Wednesday for a booster, so we are going to have him checked out then too. Hopefully he doesnt have a fever because if he does he cant have his booster :( I feel like a bad parent!!

Since he wasnt feeling well yesterday John, Carter, and I just laid around for most of the day. It was relaxing, but I felt so bad for Carter the whole time! I just wish there was something I could do for him. Hopefully he passes it soon, so he can get back to his rambunctious self! I want to play! haha. I'll keep you posted!
