Indeed, no news is good news. Much to my surprise, when I called yesterday morining I was told Bob could come home, so I picked him up last nite. He was most interested in eating the Friskies turkey and giblets "bad" food and was working hard to nibble during Monday. I guess by Tuesday he was holding down more food and that was what the vets were waiting to have him do--eat solid food.
He's on something called Carafate, which I believe may have a carbon component in it and it has lidocaine in it, too, to take out the pain from the ulcers. And he's on another antibiotic for dental and mouth infections.
He didn't feel too great when he came home last nite and threw up a few times. It may have been more excitement than anything else. This morning he ate and was able to keep food down.
I was not expecting to have him come home before today, so I am greatly relieved by this development. I've got him isolated in the kitchen and away from Sassie, who is determined she wants to Kill the Sick Thing.
It really helped to be able to write my thoughts to the List and I appreciate all of your supportive words back to me. I think Bob is on the mend and he thanks you all, too, for bolstering me during this scare.

Pat,
How is Bob? I hope no news is good news?
Sisu, I was tickled by your note, just because I was wondering how you know Bruno is Catholic? Just curious.
Bruno is on a list with other mastiffs and he told them he is "calf-lick". Actually, when he was a puppy we took him to a Blessing of the Animals, they had 2 lines, one for the priest and one for a minister (can't remember which religion), he got in the priest line. He posted to his mastiff list that he was baptised. A month later we brought him 650 miles to visit my parents and brought him to a Mass in the Park. Good thing we did, he's only 4 and dying from cancer.
Although come to think of it, I am pretty sure every cat we ever owned was some form of atheist, as the only god they believed in was themselves. LOL Kathy M.
My cats are the same way.
