The fur kids have kept me busy and a little broke. When I noticed Moon standing over Baby (both greyhounds) in a most protective way, I was puzzled. Upon looking closer, I saw Baby had a puncture wound high up on the inside of a front leg. Off to the vet for a look see and eventual 3 stitches. Keeping her from picking at the stitches has been an adventure in itself but almost done with the bandage over top of the stitches, another few days and the stitches come out and hopefully this little saga is done. No, I don't know how she did it. I am thinking it was from play wrestling with Roy the collie as he tends to grab another dog's legs when playing that way. Why, I don't know.
Jolly and William needed their annual vaccinations BUT Jolly has not seemed improved after starting Lasix about a month ago for his diagnosed congestive heart failure. Instead of shots, Jolly got a new x-ray and a new diagnosis. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and some new meds. Here's hoping he improves with time. The vet said his prognosis is maybe another year of quality of life. I will just be happy if he can exist without huffing, puffing and coughing so hard!
Oh, William the pom got his vaccinations without any problems. Yeh, William!
Final dog tidbit is that I applied to adopt Blue Moon Red, my greyhoundfoster boy. He fits in here with the other dogs well, so it is working out okay. I figure Ruby is elderly and at 16, I really don't know how much quality of life she has going for her and then there is Jolly with COPD. While it seems a lot of dogs right now, I think nature will run its course here sooner or later. D
