9:00 a.m. - Wash syringe in boiling water. Prep dose.

9:10 a.m. - Give Ike second dose of Nux Vomica. Leave him sleeping under blanket with John. Ike has been sleeping since about 8:00 a.m. I will call Dr. F with an update in 2 hours. if Ike continues to have diarrhea and vomiting we will be visiting our local vet for fluids. I have taken away free access to water at the moment until he is feeling better.

9:15 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. - Ike had liquid diarrhea in the kitchen at some point. Dark brown.

12:45 p.m. - Ike vomits - clear-grey mucous with slight pink tint.

1:15 p.m. - John moved Ike into the living room. ike is huddled next to John shivering.

2:00 p.m. - John gives Ike ice chip - Ike vomits

2:10 p.m. - Talk to Dr. F's assistant. Re-dose Ike.

2:15 p.m. - John re-doses Ike.

5:30 p.m. - Ike licks an all natural organic raspberry popsicle. Finishes about quarter-half over the next 40 minutes. 1 teaspoon water

7:00 p.m. - Ike and Bug share all natural pop (filtered water & organic raspberry puree). 1 teaspoon water.

7:30 p.m. - Dr. F calls. Re-dose Ike if he relapses. Will speak in the a.m.

8:00 p.m. - Take Ike and Bug for brief walk. Upon return boys share a quarter of a pop for a treat.

General Notes: In recent bouts, vomiting has not been a common symptom - it has been restricted to diarrhea. When Ike got sick in February and June both bouts started with vomiting. However it was bile versus clear mucous and no blood.
