Max my Border Collie Puppy is ill, will he be Alright?

Max is 21 weeks old.





Yesterday he did not appear to be well. We took him to a vet as I was concerned, and an out of hours regional vet looked at him ans said he thought it was just a virus gave him and anti biotic and steriod injections and tablets (again anti biotics) and a bill for 拢157 telling me if he gets worse go back but see our normal vet on Monday.





Got up this morning and he but appeared to be getting worse high temperature, trying to be sick but not able to even if I rubbed his back, very down not happy to go for a walk or even in the garden.





He drank very little but ate a little boiled rice and chicken at breakfast nothing else and he is miserable.





Took him to our normal vet and they have kept my baby in.





I came home crying because I should have taken him to the vet first thing rather than dithering about.





He may have some kind of obstruction and I am so scared I am going to loose him.





Whats wrong with him even the vet does not know.

Your vet is a professional trust him/her they are fully qualified to help dogs in need. Border collies tend to bounce back from sickness etc. There may be cause to be worried later on but now your dogs in the best hands.Max my Border Collie Puppy is ill, will he be Alright?
Hang in there, he will be fine.
Let the vet watch him and run their tests. Soon they will have an answer or an idea and can begin treatment. He is best at the vet and in great hands. Just try to stay calm so when you are able to see him again you don't upset him by being stressed. Make a collage of all the pictures you have of him to help time pass by. Let us know how it turns out.
If the vet who looks at the dog doesn't know what is wrong, you can't expect strangers who haven't been to vet school to help.
U just have to trust your vet at this point. Keep in touch with the vet so u r up to date with everything that's going on and write everything down cause u r upset and may forget things that were done or said. Hope your baby gets well and comes home real soon. Thank God you took him to your vet when u did!
