Vet Visit Today with Lucy and Oscar

[Debb, Lucy & Oscar]

Both dogs needed updates with their vaccinations, but I had separate concerns with both as well. Earlier this week Lucy had been holding her head cocked for about 1-1/2 days, and would shake her head slowly off an on. Her ears looked perfect with no visible signs of infection. Oscar has been drinking a LOT of water the past couple weeks. He's always been a big drinker, but lately he's been finishing his water dish by the end of the day, something he didn't do even in the heat of the Summer. Consequently, he pees a lot as well, and often (every 2 hrs). After today's vet visit it was determined Lucy had a very deep bacterial ear infection and was put on antibiotic drops. Oscar had his urine drawn with a syringe straight from his bladder and the results won't be back until Monday. Its possible he may have either a UTI or diabetes... or nothing at all. Further tests may be needed depending on the outcome of the urinalysis. He exhibits no other symptoms other than drinking and peeing a lot. I'm hopeful its just Oscar being Oscar, but I am a bit worried.

I'm so glad Debb! So everyone is on antibiotics in your house, don't forget the probiotics, lol! Hope all infections are soon a thing of the past.

[Debb, Lucy & Oscar]

Thanks, Karen. Funny thing, the doods are always on probiotics, the powdered form and homemade yogurt with very meal, so we've definitely got that covered!

I wish DK had a "thumbs up" thingy, lol!

Happy to hear this good report! Get better quickly Oscar!
