Bubble catching fun with the little girls.
Monday
As I alluded to in my prior post, the bubbles didn't sit too well with Kairo. Kind of funny (although G$ probably thinks differently), I originally was planning to come home for lunch. However, while in the shower that morning, I remembered I had a working lunch meeting scheduled. So G$ stepped up to the plate. I'm at my lunch meeting and I get a picture text (I'll spare ya'll) from G$ of Kairo's crate with some liquid in it and "Sweet..." I honestly thought the liquid was vomit. Not being rude, I didn't want to respond in the middle of lunch, so I waited until the walk back. And it was at that time that I realized G$ wrote a line before sending the picture: "Well it happened. Liquid poop in the crate... Do I leave it for you?" So, so, soooo much worse than vomit. I felt horrible for all parties involved. I do want the record to reflect that I offered to come home and help, but the bulk of the clean-up was already completed. The "Well it happened" was in reference to this being Kairo's first #2 accident in his crate. And no, G$ did not leave it for me to deal with.
So let's rewind and see how this all went down. G$ walked into the most retched smell ever and I'm sure immediately starts cursing me (since remember, I was supposed to be coming for lunch). He gets Kairo out of his crate and takes him to the bathroom to clean up. G$ starts wiping him down with puppy wipes, and somehow, our little pup was able to stay completely poo-free. Good job Kairo. G$'s hypothesis is that he stood the whole time. Poor G$. Poor Kairo. Poor everyone. We lost some good men out there - including his Kong and two towels. They were deemed not salvageable.
After work on Monday, I made Kairo chicken and rice. He was HUNGRY and scarfed it down faster than I've ever seen before. The fact that he was both eating and drinking made
Tuesday
Since things appeared to be better, G$ and I did what in hindsight was probably a little selfish. I had a work function - our big anniversary party where we invite both current and prospective clients, employees, friends, and family to celebrate. So we had always planned to take Kairo to daycare that day, since G$ and I would be out later than normal that evening. So he goes to daycare. No reports when G$ picks him up. So I'm thinking things are great. G$ hangs out with Kairo for a bit then meets me at the work party. We mingle, I get stuck talking to our of our teaming partners for about an hour, then we head home. The whole ride home, G$ is saying, man I hope he didn't butt pee in his crate again. I, on the other hand, am thinking, no way would he do it twice in two days! Things were getting better. WRONG! We walk into our apartment to yet again (for G$) that retched smell. This time G$ takes Kairo outside and I am on clean-up duty. Yuck!
We all go to bed, but at around 1AM, Kairo wakes up, starts dry heaving, so I quickly help him get off the bed, and he proceeds to vomit in our bedroom. Awesome. Was that it? Maybe, so we got back into bed. 30 minutes later, same thing. Puke in the bedroom. I then move the operation to the living room and from 1AM to 6AM, Kairo's up every thirty minutes throwing up. At 6AM, G$ and I "swap" and I get a few hours of sleep before going into work.
I'm now thinking, was this really the bubbles, or is it something else, something more serious?! Oh and did I mention Kairo's neutering is scheduled for Friday? Greeeeaaatt - we are probably going to have to reschedule.
Wednesday
No more butt pee accidents inside, no more vomiting, but things aren't quite 100% back to normal; however, Kairo is at 100% activity level, things seem normal outside of the digestive tract.
Thursday
Same thing in the morning. I call the vet to give him the skinny and get his opinion on whether we should go ahead with the surgery on not. We leave it as - I will monitor his bathroom situation once I get home from work and then again in the morning. Depending on how things are, we'll make a Friday morning game day decision as to whether we take him to the vet or not for the surgery.
Friday
Do we go through with the neutering surgery?! You'll just have to wait and see.
And since I like to include at least one picture, here's Kairo hiking the weekend before this disaster-of-a-week began:
