The boys have a bug

[Maximo]

This happened to us once before, over a year ago. It was like a 24 hour flu. Like last time, we are in desperate need of rain and I think the germs are piling up outside.

Teddy vomited his dinner last night and both of the boys are doing very mild, burpy dry heaves every once in awhile today. I fed them light this morning and the food is staying down. They are adequately hydrated, drinking water, gums are moist and pink, but I can see in their eyes that they are not feeling their best.

Of course, they want to be active and eat, but I am encouraging them to rest. Hoping they are back to normal tomorrow, otherwise we'll have a family outing to the vet's office.

Ohhh Noooo.....

Yeah, it has been Crazy HOT/HUMID here.... we are supposed to get some rain this weekend, I think.

Sending good vibes and hoping Teddy & Max have a quick recovery!!
Give them extra belly rubs from me & Riley!!!!

Awww poor Max and Teddy. I hope they feel better soon . I'm hoping for some rain too.... this weather is INSANE!

[AllDogBoots]

Oh poor Max and Teddy! Hopefully a little rest and they'll be feeling better by morning. Otherwise, a family trip and a little antibiotics may not be the worst thing in the world. They'll be fine.

Thank you everyone. Posting a thread and having good vibes sent must already be helping -- the boys wrestled like maniacs for 30 minutes. They are sleeping again.

KRISTIN! I think your boys passed it on to my boy... LITERALLY right after I read the thread Brody jumped off the couch and vomited. Do you think it can be transmitted via internet?!?

Hope your babies feel better soon! The weather definitely is a factor in them not feeling well.

We have had a couple extremely hot days and I refuse to take Romeo outside (he can put on all the sad faces, sit by the door and cry, or be mad at me) for fear he might pick up germs that love hot, humid weather.

Oh no!! Seriously, I think it the lack of rain in our region to clean things up. I hope Brody is better soon.

This is my problem -- I can't let Teddy overheat, but he suffers terrible anxiety if he doesn't get to go for his walks. Max accepts extenuating circumstances, but not Teddy.

Thank you Karen. I think rest is all they need, hopefully. Max has had his share of antibiotics, so I try to keep it to when he really needs them.

Riley was at the door whining, Non-stop after I got home, last night. I finally broke down and took him out but took lots of water with me...
He was pulling, major wanting to get to his play area.... once we did, he
looked up at me and his tongue was totally curled up and he was panting...
He didn't want to go in but I ended up picking him up and carrying him
back inside... it was just too hot and he did not care... but I did not
want him getting overheated!!

Glad they are already feeling better!!!!!

The tongue is always a good gauge for how hot they are outside. Right now it is so bad that even sitting in the stroller is unbearable -- after 8 pm. Looks like we have some relief coming our way.

It's weather like today that I wish Sophia and Brody were pad trained. It's bad when you have to bring a water bottle for a 2 minute potty break!!!
