Happy Friday! It's been a very long week for me. Last week my oldest dog, Ajax, (he's my baby) started limping. We took him to the vet last Saturday and they gave him a Cortisone shot. By Sunday he was worse and wouldn't put any weight on his paw. Monday afternoon I went back to the vet for x-rays. The x-rays didn't show a thing. There were no broken bones, no area where he might have been bit...nothing! How frustrating because he was obviously in quite a bit of pain.
During the night on Monday he started getting sick. We cleaned up after him for over 12 hours and starting to get really worried. The vet advised us to take him off food and water for 12 hours. After 12 hours he was able to keep his food down however the limp was still there. Wednesday morning we started him on antibiotics. Finally late Wednesday night I noticed he was licking his paw. When I took a look he had a HUGE boil between his toes. It sounds a bit crazy but I was excited. Finally after a week we were able to see what the problem was. He had developed a little abscess and it was finally draining.
We talked to the vet this morning and this is a good sign because he is healing. Thank goodness. It's been a long week and I'm very much looking forward to the weekend.
Have a good one! Don't forget to enter for a chance to win some really great soap.
