Those People

We have officially become those people who rush their pets to the vet in the middle of the night. At 10:30 last night (because it is now EARLY Sunday morning) Liam gave us a little scare. He has been moping around all day and just hasn't been himself the past couple of days. He got down out of the bed and tried to use the bathroom on his pottymat. There was a very small amount of poo (sorry for tmi) and a lot of blood with little white things that looked like rice. He kept trying to go the bathroom and less and less came out and it got more and more red. So we left Liberty here and rushed him to a 24 hour animal hospital that is by our church. They did a fecal test and it turns out he has a parasite called Coccidia. The doctor sent us home with three antibiotics for him to take. Two of them he gets twice a day for 7 days and the third one he only has to take once a day. Coccidia is contagious so he can't be around Liberty. This poses a problem. Right now he is in the bathroom barking like crazy because we've left him alone. Liberty is in the bedroom with us sitting at the door crying because she wants him. I don't know how much sleep any of us will get this morning as it now 1:20 AM.
