After a few days of giving Jack Prednisone (5mg, 2x day), Jack is constantly hungry.
He picks up bits of paper and chews, sometimes swallowing if we don't tell him to "Leave it".
Occasionally, he brings pieces of paper into the living room, and just drops them there. We're thinking it's a new game. Poodles are always coming up with new games, so we laugh along with him.
Easter morning we left both he and Cleo in the back yard to go to church. Jack has been drinking a lot of water, and his throughput is amazing. He's had some accidents when he can't get outside fast enough.
When we returned from church, Jack had devoured about half of a paper bag containing wood chips.
Monday, April 9. Sue Ann left for work, and not 10 minutes later I hear a "crack" sound. Jack is in the living room, a broken prednisone bottle is on the floor, along with about 5 doses of pred. Oh..no.
Rushed him to the vet, as he's probably eaten 20-25 doses. They induce vomiting.
We now realize we need to change all the rules around here about dog access.
