Pupdate on Rumpole. He tested positive for Ehrlichia. He is dehydrated from vomiting and his blood work shows he also is anemic and has a high white blood count. My vet said these symptoms are indicative of an acute case of Ehrlichia. He is still at the vet's office on an IV and antibiotics. Rumpole is down about half of his ideal body weight. He weighs 68 lbs. and he is a very tall big boy that I expect should weigh about 120 at least. Ehrlichia is a tick borne disease very common in Kentucky. I have never had a dog with an active case of ehrlichia although I have had plenty that tested positive for it, so this was new to me. I expect him to make a full if slow recovery since he is battling starvation as well. The blood work showed his organs are in good shape which was a big worry for me. I couldn't sleep last night because I was so worried about him and I spent a couple of hours really early this morning brushing him. He gave me a ton of kisses, pretty much washed my face completely which is really unusual for a Pyr. That is how sweet this boy is. I doubt the grooming made him feel better but it helped me feel better since that was all I could do for him. wearing suitable for the wedding of the tall bride
