tests,tests,and more tests......

[sherrie west]

During the first week that we had the pups,Scrappy,the 10 week old started showing weakness in his hind legs. Within a couple of hrs he would not try to walk on them. My DH took him to the Vet the next day since I was out of town. She thought that it was something like the flu,so she put him on Antibiotics, drops for his ears,because of spots in them......the following Sunday he was getting worse so we took him to the Vet Emergency and they thought it might be puppy strangels,or an immunity problem. they then changed the meds......well, yesterday he was running a low fever again so I took him to the Vet again! This time we saw a different one in the group., She was very concerned . His eyes were now swollen, bad rash in ears, sores and blisters around mouth and starting near eyes!!! Very scary!! She ended up taking blood work,urine test, skin scaping, and bio of glands, due to swelling in one on his neck area......expenses.......whewwww......dont want to think about it..haha...my DH said, well there goes the new soft seat for the motorcycle.......but smiled as he said it...:)....We should get some of the test results back tomorrow. I will update when I know. Right now he is sleeping after running with Shaggy ( 13 weeks) in the kitchen, so he is feeling better....yeah........gotta love the little things!!!
