rn, thanks for the well wishes. doc looked at him and was relatively surprised with how much energy he had. when she say him before, he was much different; plus, he has gained weight. we got the pills (baxatril or something) he was on earlier renewed and then we are also putting him on doxy too. they took his blood and some eye mucus samples for the distemper culture. he is negative for heartworm, which is a plus. doctor is a lil worried that he might have caught something from the many, many ticks that he had. we'll know more tomorrow. i'm hoping for the best, but at the same time preparing myself for the worst.

RN, fingers crossed for Beckie's foster pup too! RN I stumbled across an old Lets Make a Deal episode on Game Show Network. Have to laugh at the prices.... .15 for a bottle of Orange Crush Soda .39 for a box of Rice a Roni 4222.00 for a brand new Buick Apollo car 2080.00 for a 15 foot Travel Mate Travel Trailer

rn, a small update on my foster dog (spencer): the first set of results: his white blood count is 27,000 and it should be 16,000. He does have erlichia (tick born parasite, not contagious to other dogs) but the antibiotic will take care of it. They wont know if its distemper until later this afternoon. still keep him in your prayers and thoughts. thanks to all the nice words...it really does help.

((Spencer)) Hope to hear good news later today. And no matter what the results are, he is in very good hands now and is well taken care of--thanks to you Beckie!! So I hope that comforts you on some level.

rn, another update. he tested negative for distemper...however my mom has herself freaked out because she found that a dog can still have distemper and test negative (i'm almost positive he doesn't tho). this parasite explains all of his symptoms, which mimic the distemper. we had to take him to the vet and they put him on an iv drip (with antibiotics) for 48 hrs. things are looking up...so glad, this boy deserves such a great life.

rn, so spencer didn't do well last night at the vet's office. they called today saying that we needed to pick him up...he had been destructive. pulled out his IVs and destroyed the kennel he was in. while that really sucks...it puts me in good spirits because that means it was healthy enough to not want to be there. he has to be on baytril, doxy, and amoxy for four weeks and then everything should be better by then. he is in high spirits at home today...all other dogs are laying down (100+ right now here) and he just wants to play. spencer and my family want to thank everyone for the well wishes. hope this will lead to a great life for the lil boy.

RN whoever the heck moved into the suite below us must be a smoker, cuz our bedroom smells like an ashtray tonight. It's coming up from the radiator vent. RN Beckie, great news that your poochy is feeling so frisky again.
