Hungry Like the Benny
I am very happy to report that Henry had a very good day yesterday. The morning got off to a rocky start with us worrying that he might be on the verge of throwing up, but we gave him some food and that seemed to help settle his stomach.
We are under strict orders from the vet that we need to feed Henry small and frequent meals. He went a good 10 days with almost no food so we can't just turn him loose and let him eat what he wants. This had proven more difficult than I thought it would be.
Henry has never been much of an eater. Even as a pup. Sure he had an appetite, but he never had the type of appetite typical of a pug. And he never had the appetite that Benny had. But today, Henry had the appetite of Benny and Luna combined. He was ravenous. We fed him a small meal about every 2-3 hours and he was ready to chow each time.
It was fantastic to see him ready to eat. Not just to see him eating after getting over pancreatitis, but to also see him happily eating since Benny and Luna passed. Without them, Henry has a bit lost in the food department. He always followed their lead and just ate when they ate. Today, he was his own pug, and told us, "I'm hungry!" I hope his appetite sticks around!

I am so happy to read Henry is eating again he looks perkier in this picture wanted to give you a little up date on Boo Boo three weeks ago he injurged his right eye and needed lots of different meds every 2 hours and wear the cone of shame well he still has to wear the cone of shame but is on two meds every four hours the eye is healing but very slowly
I’m so glad Henry is doing better, and the food is staying down. Finally, an apetite! Hope everything continues to go well. #HenryStrong!

Henry looks like he’s got that spring back in his step. A life worth living is a life worth fighting for. Good job pug-parents.

Great news! Glad to hear Henry is hungry & keeping it down. Prayers answered and continued for Henry & family! Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2
I pray that Henry’s appetite sticks around. Poor guy has had such a rough time off and on lately. He so deserves to return to a normal routine, not to mention the entire household.
Way to go Henry! Have a good day baby
This is just wonderful! I am so happy he’s improved, and a good appetite with no tummy upset is great!!!!
May God bless him.
