Day 1

6:17 a.m. - barking at bedroom door - request to go out.

While getting dressed Ike RACED between kitchen and bedroom; atypical if he was feeling ill. He seemed amped up.

2 soft bowel movements and a straining attempt at third. Third attempt was small bit of diarrhea.

Lunged at bicyclist. Unusual - bikers are not usually a trigger for Ike.

Barking at jogger on other side of street.

Reactive.

Entered house and went immediately to water bowl. Drank like he had just finished doing agility, i.e. working.

Licking bum.

Went back to bed - Ike choose to sleep between my legs curled in a ball - warmth.

8:00 am - barking at bedroom door.

Opened door and Ike raced to drink more water.

Breakfast: 1 ounce NV rabbit, 1.5 tablespoon rice, cooked carrot, Canine Plus, garlic

11:45 a.m. - 12:50 p.m. - Short hike with friend and her dogs. Shaking upon entry to truck - laying down and relaxed on seat by half-way through ride (15 minutes total). VERY happy Ike while hiking. Running ahead versus staying in my shadow or lagging behind. Atypical for him.

Now lying in sun splash in bedroom.

4:35 p.m - Dinner: 1.25 ounce Oma's Turkey mix, 1.5 tablespoon rice, cooked green beans, 3V CAP, garlic

Evening walk - full of energy. Pulling on leash (unusual). Diarrhea with flatulence - yellow-tone, pudding consistency.

More bum licking in the evening.
