Long Night

Well, I may have spoken too soon in saying Jax was better. He only seemed better when I went to see him. Apparently when my sister picked him up, he was back to being sick. He was still sick when I got home from class. (Thankfully, she and her boyfriend were there watching him while I was in class, cleaning up after him.) He was sick all night. ALL NIGHT. I couldn't leave him alone for more than a few minutes... much less go to bed. I finally got in bed around 3 or so, but still couldn't sleep continuously because I kept hearing him getting sick... so needless to say I'm very tired today. He's back at the vet now and they're starting him back on the IV. I'm wondering if I should leave him there tonight because that seems to be what I should've done last night. I felt horrible for him. This morning he actually took a few sips of water and managed to keep it down. So that was good. Hopefully he'll do better after being on the IV all day today... yesterday he was only on it for a few hours, so we'll see what this does, and I may decide that he needs to spend the night so he can stay on the IV all night. They can keep it in him all night, but there will be no one to check on him... that's the only thing that scares me. If he can just sleep through the night, that's great, but I don't want him being lonely and needing to go outside and cold... those cages don't look very warm. So I'll talk to the vet today and see what he thinks. But then again, this is the same vet who said his dehydration seemed like "no big deal" Tuesday night. I'm sure he'll have changed his mind now...
