What's New

Okay, I haven't been on for awhile because I've been taking care of my dog. Remember when someone dognapped him? Well, the near worst did happen. He (surprise, surprise) caught an infection from being without his prevenative medication for too long and from being outside too soon after his surgery with an open incision wound. Okay, now that we've estabolished what caused the infection... I've had to take full time care of him because the infection caused him to stop eating. He lost almost 50% of his bodyweight and all but for the last 2 weeks or so, I've been spoonfeeding him his food. He has 2 liquid medications, one to treat the infection, one to treat his malnutrition. He's on a special combination of expensive prescription food, wet and dry. All food and medication need to be given every 12 hours. I've been working with him and I think he's beginning to gain some weight and he's no longer dehydrated. This is especially good because they were going to put him down if he didn't gain weight soon enough. I might be able to save him after all.
