So far so good. He wants another one.....no freaking way!
I will continue to watch him. REally going to be watching for that next poop.
I called the vet. He suggested giving him 2 tablespoons of vaseline which I had to run out and buy. I took his cookies and got a big scoop of it on the bone and he never missed a lick getting it down. Even took the second one like that without even wondering why it was so gooey.
I have no idea what has got his appetite going like it is. He is on a very minimal dosage of Prednisone - only 5 mg twice a day. He about takes your hand off just handing him a cookie until you remind him to be nice. Chows his food like a total maniac that has been starving for days.
Here is is tonight with one of the bigger ones he got a couple days ago. He had skinned it but could not break this one. See his paw on it and him not looking at me. He is afraid I am going to take this one away as well.

I gave him one of those real butcher block beef bones you buy in the store in plastic. He loves them. He was like a manic and started demolishing it. I could not believe it. He was chewing off big chunks and eating it. It sounded horrible. It looked like this when I finally got it away. I am so afraid it could hurt him. What do you think. Now I am scared to go back to work.
