Turns out she has IBD, and inflammation = easy blockages = trapped wind = bloat.

Sheppie's IBD is controlled through Rx diet + occasional antacids — no other meds required — so hopefully Clem will be that lucky. 🤞

My poor sick girl. She's in the right home, that's for sure. 💕
Hound dog sits awkwardly in couch, her body twisted so she can rest her chin on the back of it. She looks like she's posing for a painting in a bygone era, dramatically swooning on the divan because her family forbade her from going on a horse-drawn sleigh ride with the blacksmith's handsome young son (he is a gentleman, but her parents believe him to be too low-class to be worthy of her attention.) Instead, she watches the gently falling snowflakes through the window, wondering what they would look like caught in the young man's long eyelashes... Woe. Woe! Except instead she's just a sick dog who fucked around with kitty litter "snacks" and found out. 🙃

Wednesday night, she came home with strict supportive care instructions, meds, and prescription food.

Thursday night she bloated AGAIN and we rushed back in. >
Close up of hound dog's face, paws, and shoulder as she snoozes on a green Survey Corps blanket. One paw is outstretched to rest on my foot. She has a small rectangular bald patch on her outstretched limb, from where she had an IV at the vet. Her nails are like black talons because she's part Coonhound and they grow approximately 1 inch per 6 hour period; this special adaptation gives them useful working skills such as climbing trees to reach prey, or stabbing human thighs aggressively demand bits of cheese.

We rushed poor Clementine to the ER on Tuesday night with bloat. Look at her poor tummy. 😭 I expanded her harness strap by 5" and it STILL wouldn't close. 😭💔💔💔 >
A red-and-mahogany hound dog with long floppy ears and a droopy expression lies on a waiting room bench at the vet. Her tummy looks like she swallowed a basketball, maybe, or at least a large pie. We can see my hand resting on her back. The same hound dog is lying down on a black rug on the beige floor at the vet. She has a large patch of fur shaved around her tummy and ribs. The bandage wrapped around her leg is pink. She is looking down at the floor as if asking the dust mites why such a horrible haircut has befallen her.

In 2008, I was diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), specially Crohn's.

In 2011, our rescue kitten was diagnosed with IBD. Kitty Crohn's!

A couple days ago, my rescue dog was diagnosed with IBD. Doggy Crohn's!

Love my found family of Crohnie Homies. 💜
Black cat stares at curled-up red-brown hound as if realizing they both share a common burden. (Or, at least, she did not growl or hiss, which is new.)
