Poor baby.

Marty wasn't feeling too well in this photo and just wanted to be held all the time. He was on an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, and while the symptoms of the infection had abated, he seemed to be getting sicker. Very listless and tired and not eating his food, and vomiting occasionally. Sheila called the vet and it was what we expected - the antibiotic was making him sick. The girls at the vet's office neglected to give her the special instructions she should have had when she picked up the medicine - give the pill with food, feed him only ground beef and rice, etc. - and so the cure was worse than the sickness for the poor guy.
Sheila came home from work that night and gave him his special dinner and within an hour he was back to his cheerful old self.
UPDATE: Although he perked right up and was certainly feeling better, he has had the most toxic gas for the last few days. Good Lord!! On Thanksgiving Day he farted almost every time he moved, including during the taking of that adorable photo posted below. Who knew such a little guy could be so deadly?

I'm certainly glad that you got updated instructions for the timing of the antibiotic with food and what kind of special diet he needed so Marty could feel better. But there's NOTHING worse that doggie farts! Poor you! lol
