Tank has definitely gotten his appetite back! Yesterday when I got home he looked like a brand new dog. His eyes were finally alert and he was walking around and exploring more, like he used to. He still hadn't eaten anything at that point, but then last night Brian tried to give him some more of the bland dog food and Tank just looked at him like, "Are you kidding me? I haven't eaten in a week and you're trying to feed me this?" So Brian gave him a little bit of his regular hard dog food and Tank devoured it. Yeah!! Then this morning he was chewing on a bone that he had found in the yard, so I'd say we're in the clear and we've got our old dog Tank back!
Bo still hasn't eaten much, and we're still giving him the antibiotics. I took Logan into the Dr. yesterday just to be safe and have him checked out. The doctor said it sounds like Giardia, which is a microscopic parasite that can be passed from dogs to humans. We're in the process of collecting stool samples from Logan to have them tested to confirm that's what it is. Logan did great yesterday, no throw up and hardly any poops so maybe we're heading out of the woods with him as well. We've still got Logan on a bland diet as well, no dairy for a couple of days. I'm just so glad things are looking better and we at least think we know what was plaguing the Meyer Ranch this past week. Nothings more frustrating or scary then not knowing why you're family is sick.
Tomorrow we're heading up to Cottor's cabin for the 4th of July fireworks. Happy 4th of July everyone!

YAY!! That a boy Tank, way to pull through!! Bo you are next, I know you will pull through as well. I am so glad you guys have finally found something out that makes sense as what the dogs could have had. Monkey man hopefully your system is already kickin' butt and you will be over it in no time. Have a good weekend, see you Saturday.
Thanks Shutter! I feel the same way, thank God we're through that and every body survived!
