This is our dog, Charlie. He’s a 12-year old Cairn Terrier. We’ve been visiting the vet quite a bit recently because he’s been extremely sick. He’s hardly eaten at all in the last two weeks, despite all the medications the vet has given us. I finally caved in and agreed to an ultrasound which of course didn’t produce any significant results, except to tell us his stomach is filled with fluid. With everything else that has been going on with him, they think this means it’s an ulcer – which they say they can treat with medications and make him almost as good as new. He’s spending the night at the vets, hooked up to IVs of fluid and other medications. He’s the smartest dog I’ve ever known. I’m really hoping this helps him. It’s heartbreaking to see him suffer like this.
