It was pretty scary. He lost 20 lbs in about 2-3 weeks, and (because of having celiac for so long) didn't have 20 lbs to lose. We finally had him taken to the hospital where the doctors later told him they didn't think he'd make it. (He was normally about 155 and couldn't gain weight no matter how hard he tried [the opposite of me *g*], so about 135 when he went in. He was skin and bones. I remember realizing I could see his ribs when he changed into the gown.)
Once they figured out what was wrong and he started eating GF he did a 180 and got better quickly (aside from his insides having to heal necessitating more colonoscopies than he wants to think about, lol). He eventually put the 20 lbs back on plus 35 more! He's leveled out at about 190 now and he feels so much better. (Enough so that he thinks it's okay to cheat some days. *head desk*)
I'm glad you figured out what was making you feel bad and that you're feeling better now.
I don't know if Pip cares about my rut, but I care about it, so yes!
The terrier mix is Beauregard (named after a Civil War general, since Pip is obsessed with reading about it; the dog we had before, until he was 15, was named Shiloh), and the lab/shepherd is Ticonderoga (we couldn't find another good Civil War name that we liked so we went with my mother's suggestion of a Revolutionary War site *g*). We definitely call him Ti for short (and Beau), unless we need the longer name for yelling purposes, lol!
I talk about them enough that they have their own tags! Here's an entry where I posted a photo of the two of them taking a pause in their playing, which is very unusual. Normally when I try to get photos of the two of them together they come out all blurry.
