Thank you. They really do. When he was brought home, my now ex-wife and our daughter didn't know what to do with him so I took care of him as a puppy and he bonded with me. We are very close but we share custody of him like we are two people in some whacky Hollywood divorce. How did I get here?!?!
Back on topic and update:
We picked him up at 5 the next day and he was a little tired but doing well. It turned out that the Ex picked up treats from Dollar General that were made in China (which we've all seen the stories about) and he was basically poisoned by that garbage. When I received and reviewed the bill, he was given all precautions and treatment protocols for poisoning. I wasn't happy at all but I didn't lose my cool with the Ex. I only reminded her that since he has always had a delicate digestive system, he should only be given treats approved by the vet.
He's been home for 2 days now and is behaving like a puppy again!! That's the most important thing.
Thanks for all of the kind words and commiserations, guys I truly appreciate them all.
Cheers-MK

When we picked up our Mini-Schnauzer...that was the first thing our vet told us. Apparently that breed has a very delicate system as well. So vet approved food and treats only. And table scraps could lead to Pancreatic issues.
It's hard to explain this stuff to people who don't know any better!
