Tummy trouble update

We visited the vet this afternoon about my tummy troubles. Dr. Johnson said no birthday burger for a week! Can you believe it! I'm an old lady! I might not last a whole week!

I've also been having some potty issues overnight and my tongue has turned black. I am falling apart! 

This is a seriously unflattering selfie, mom. 

The vet tech had a hunch that my tongue turned black because I've taking Pepto-bismol for a week. Our vet had never heard that before, but we are under strict instructions to report back on my tongue color after stopping Pepto. 
Have any of you ever heard of that? 

Anyway, we got two weeks' worth of antibiotics to battle the bugs.
I'm sleeping it off, just biding my time until my birthday burger. The vet said I was actually on the thin side and could use a few extra treats. 
Bring them on!

  7. Wow, we have never hears of black tongue. I hope your tummy feels better soon. It turns out I can't eat anything but dog food any more as my stomach will get upset. Turns out it is not so cast iron as it used to be. Think of me when you enjoy your birthday burger as those days are long gone for me. lol

  8. Poor baby! This is not fair on your Birthday week! I hope your tummy gets better so you can enjoy that B-day Burger. Not sure if you've tried canned pumpkin before (just pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie mix) but that has helped me when I had some stomach trouble before.

    -Love,
    Sid.
