I'm at the clinic again tonight (I was just here last night).
Mike is down with intestinal bacteria infection (that's what the doctor called it).
He seems so unwell...and I feel so lost seeing a giant like him fall so ill.
Seeing him in pain and not having an appetite, it seems like there's nothing I can do to help him relieve this pain. I can only be there for him, to take care of his needs and give him comfort (he's emperor* when he's sick).
Still, it's so worrying.
And Cheery's acting weird too, she's been losing her appetite of late (which only happens when she's unwell).
I'm trying so hard, watching out for all kinds of signs that she can been telling me. Where pain, where not well...but I can't find any.
I just hope it's a passing phase that will go away (the vet said her health's fine).
Pains me to see him taking so many different types of medicine.
Pains me to have to use so much medicine on Cheery, knowing that she HATES them (some after-bath lotion for her Westie skin problem, dental care, a hormone cream for her skin and incontinence, ear solution and paste).
I pray that the 2 of them recover soon and return to their normal state of health.
To anyone out there who has a loved one who's sick, I wish everything goes well and the sickness goes away soon.
* Melvin says there's only 2 occasions a man plays emperor :
1) When he's sick.
2) When he's having sex.
So just let him have his way!
