Sorry, I haven't updated in a few days. I have just been so busy with taking Leo back and forth to the vet.
Leo went beck to the vet on Friday morning. He is doing so much better! We just have to keep feeding him 4 small meals a day and make sure he is drinking enough water. As long as he is doing okay with this, he can be at home with us!
Yeah!
Poor Leo has a terrible...rash...
on his bottom & the underside of his tail, from all the diarrhea he has had. They have given us some medications to put on it. The vet thinks it will go away in a few days.
Unfortunately, Leo's nice long coat....that my children have been working so hard on...on is ruined. They had to shave down a large areas around his bottom and most of his tail, because it was so matted with poop.
They also had to shave down his back right leg and a portion of the front leg for the iv's.
I explain to the children: that we are grateful that Leo is feeling better...no matter what!
His coat we can always go back. I think they have accepted that a puppy cut is in Leo's...very near... future! I personally look forward to it.
Since, I am the one that does a majority of the bathing and brushing.
My DH can home last night.
He was so shock by the appearance and behavior of Leo. He could believe that the dog he was seeing...was FEELING BETTER.
He said, "Leo much have really been really bad off!"
I better run I had to pick up the house...we have company coming later.
I will post an date again tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for your kind words and support this week.
I really needed it!
