odies_mama · 08-01-2008, 10:20 PM

we had a nice long visit with a new vet today [shes a really nice dr so we're going to start going to her]

odie does have hot spots that just got out of hand which is what i figured...we did have to shave the hair around them because they need to breathe (i posted a picture...WARNING its gross!) and he is slightly dehydrated because he hasnt ben drinking

she gave him a steroid shot, 2 weeks worth of antibiotics, and im to give him benadryl as well.

he has already improved drastically. hes finally eating again, no water yet though but i know it will come, and he finally PEED! lol i know that sounds crazy but he hasnt peed in almost 2 days and all of sudden he ran outside, played with the car a bit, and did his business!

i'm soo happy and i feel much better, and i know he does too..i can tell! hes been wanting to play alot again =D

than yall soo much for all your prayers and doggy dust ya sent our way....it really helped! yall are more supportive than my family sometimes

Has the vet mentioned using OATMEAL based shampoo? It really works well for dogs with skin problems. You can also buy Oatmeal Sprays, too!

and no the vet didnt say anything about using oatmeal specifically. but when we go to his follow up im gonna ask what she recommends
