The someone with the problem this past week was Vlad. No reason known why. Barkly's not sick, but of course the food was blamed by "her" at his work-in Wednesday. If something were wrong with the food, Barkly's small body would have been sick faster than Vlad. Vlad got dehydrated and then has been constipated the past 2 days--even on their bland diet of rice and cottage cheese, since I told her that I knew for a fact neither one of them would eat that canned stuff from when Barkly ate flowers. Barkly wouldn't eat it. Dannyboy wouldn't eat it, and Vlad wouldn't eat it for us after we got him. The rest of the cans went to a neighbor. A few Injections (Cerenia + Ampicillin + steroids), three bags of sub-Q fluids, and 5 days of Flagyl, and Vlad's a lot better now.
Hubs blamed it on me traumatizing him by shaving him off all over except for his head. I don't know how to do a Giant Schnauzer head or he'd look just like the other shaved BRTs. Magic thing about shaving him? He's now using his bed instead of lying on the floor ALL the time. Better for his joints. Magic thing for me? With him shaved, they're a lot easier to maintain with all that's going on with my parents.
