One Week Later

I am happy to report that only one week after starting Miles on Royal Canin Hypoallergenic HP dog food Miles is feeling much better! No more vomiting, no more diarrhea. I haven't seen him limp or seem weak in several days. We suspect he wasn't holding his food in long enough to absorb any of the nutrients to help him grow & develop. Over the last week he has gained 2.6 pounds & his back legs look like they've doubled in size! Miles seems healthy, strong & happy! The only issue I've noticed (and it just started back up the other day) is paw chewing. I hope he's not having a delayed reaction to this new food.
In one week we will be taking him off the Metronidazole. He is currently taking 1/2 a pill once a day. Hopefully nothing will change when we do this. If Miles starts to have issues again, he will remain on a low dose of this medicine for a while, maybe permanently.
I am so thankful that Miles is able to take daily walks again, play with his brother Riley & is no longer having rough days. This weekend Miles even had a doggie friend over to play. It had been about a month since the Vet quaranteened him from other dogs since we didn't know if he had something bacterial (contagious). I'm so happy to be able to have him around other dogs again!
