Benton is sick

Benton is getting TLC
Benton was rushed to the vet last night after having bloody stools.  Our vet is wonderful, and was willing to stay late to see him.  We are waiting for the test results to come back this morning, but they treated him last night with injections and antibiotics for what they think is colitis from salmonella.  There is a lake near our house, so we have lots of Canadian geese around, potentially causing their droppings to get onto his paws or on something he licked.  He is on a special diet for the next several days.  He doesn't seem like himself, but I can tell he is starting to get better.
