Here's another update from our crew... Man, we're having a rough time!

Pixie is recovering well - she is starting to put her leg down, and we're well into PT - she HATES range of motion exercises. She's been scratching at her ears (like a baby with an ear infection)... but Cinnamon and Bogey have also been notably scratching, Pixie being the worst. So I made an appointment to take Pixie in today for an ear swab - I told the vet she's got ear mites! He said no, we won't see that in a bunch of adult dogs.... then he did the swab and came back... "They have ear mites." Hah, so we'll be treating the whole crew (5 of them) for ear mites.

Jubilee came home last night. She's eating and doing really, really well. We still "have parvo" but she's over the hump and is on the recovery end. She'll be contagious for another couple weeks. She also has an upper respiratory infection that we're treating with amoxicillin.

Bogey got violently ill today. We feared the worst: Parvo. We knew he'd been around it, but he's been vaccinated too. We called the vet and asked to come "earlier than 2" (when our appointment was) and asked to bring him for a parvo test. He does NOT have parvo, but he is eaten up with coccidia. (UGH) Annnddd... coccidia's very contagious, so we'll be treating all 5 for that, too.

Cinnamon (my daughter's dog) is still "iffy" - we know she had a UTI, and we're treating with an antibiotic, but we're still watching to make sure SHE doesn't have parvo. She's only 4 months old, so she's susceptible, even though she's had vaccinations. She didn't eat dinner tonight, so we're watching her closely.

My husband's adult pug (Preston) came home (we sent him away with the fire because didn't have a yard for him anymore). He was *mostly* ok - but he's got a staff infection... he's on antibiotics also. He's starting to look better.

I think we're running the vet clinic. We have paid entirely too much, but we'll get all our babies healthy and hopefully keep them that way. In the mean time, they were getting all our prescriptions together today, and the tech goes, "Does Albon have to be refrigerated?" We answered: "No, but the drops for the ear mites do." The vet came in and said "Golly, ya'll know ENTIRELY too much!" He said we should be their next "patients of the month"...
