5.1 lbs of fun


We had our one week check-up tonight with Dr Badamo. I was a little paranoid that Hope may be getting kennel cough due to some sneezing that had started Saturday but her lungs sound great and we think maybe just the dryness and dusty winter house air might be doing it to her.

Bad news first - we didn't gain any weight!! Damn whipworms. We'll keep plugging along with the Panacur to get rid of them. I am hoping in another week we'll see some gain.

The good news is that she is LOOKING great. Her fur seems to be coming in more and more. Her eyes look amazing. They are no longer dry and you can see a sliver of her iris. The inflammation is much less and she seems to be a lot more comfortable. We don't use the muzzle anymore for meds, either.

The game plan is more Panacur in a month and we'll talk about getting the meatball removed soon. The meatball itself is kind of an angry color which is worrisome. The fluid we had aspirated from it filled in again. The meatball's gotta' go!!!
