Maru the Shiba ate very little for the past week and was acting depressed and acting out. Today he’s “back” though; he ate with gusto and was his usual self playing around, showing affection. Sigh of relief. 📷🐕

@rickcogley Glad to hear he’s back to his usual self.

@Miraz thanks, we were really worried. Lately there have been some summer fireworks displays and to add insult to injury, thunderstorms. I think he feels unsafe, the way he has been looking at the sky all the time.

@rickcogley Poor boy. One of our two was always terrified by fireworks and thunder.

@rickcogley did you figure out why?

@Miraz yeah, he gets like he’s having an asthma attack, he panics so much. 😣

@Michele thanks for asking; not yet, he’s at the vet now! The groomer visit went fine, they said he was good and patient. Then he ate a little after he got home after. We’ll see how the vet visit goes and how the walk is later.

@Michele vet said he has bad gastritis and allergies combined, so, they gave him an IV. He was worn out during the walk, actually, and is sleeping now.

@Michele it’s a relief
