Setback

The vet just called.  Ozzy will not be coming home today after all.  He's not eating, and though this morning he had a good breakfast, now he won't touch the food.  Dr B said that usually--not always, but normally--once a dog starts to recover from an illness, they are ravenous and scarf down their food.  Ozzy isn't.  So, he's staying in the hospital until Monday.  They are going to do some further tests today, like x-rays on his abdomen to rule out blockages or foreign objects, though that is precautionary rather than an expectation of finding anything.

I'm relieved on one hand that he's staying, and will be getting the care and attention he needs; on the other hand I really just want my poor, wee dog to come home.
