They gave him a shot of pencilin at the 1st vet & then liquid amoxicillin to give him at home. I'm afraid it would be too harsh on an empty stomach. We are supposed to fast him until tomorrow & then start him on a diet of rice & cottage cheese also with a stool softener. I guess we are supposed to get further blood work back from the first vet tomorrow. but the 2nd vet seemed very confident in his diagnosis.
Logan is acting normal just tired. He was also very interested in food when we got home at 6. I felt so bad telling him he had to wait til tomorrow so that his system could recoup.
Thank you so much for your thoughts & prayers I'm sure they are helping greatly. I will update in the morning.
I would not be hesitant to give the amoxicillian except the 1st vet that gave it to us didn't give us a reason to give it. Like this will help ..... so i'm hesitant to give because it seemed to me like the 1st vet had no idea what was wrong, but figured antibiotics wouldn't hurt.
