Poor Karma

She just can't win. But, maybe the following explains why she has been such a grumpy gus lately.

Karma is a sick dog:( Josh came home to a house reeking of poo, and poor Karma was trapped in her kennel with explosive diarrhea. Poor girl was outside the minute we let her out of her kennel trying poo more, but couldn't. I took her to the vet and she had to stay the night. Her temp was down, she was dehydrated, and her packed cell volume was very high. All indicative of at least pancreatitis, if not something more serious.

This morning, I am happy to hear that it is "just" pancreatitis and nothing more. Apparently an illness to which Boxers can be prone. She'll need a special diet of course! What animal have I ever owned that has not needed some type of ongoing special diet or meds. Seriously, I think I suffer from munchausen by proxy, but with pets instead of kids. I know my Seeds girls will get a kick out of that one!
