Calcium levels are normal, proteins I think were 2.6 now I think 4.6. Lost 2 more ozs. but with the fluids going in and then tapped out she said the weights are off. She's for the holistic stuff, she just said go slow and if reaction back off, and write down all that is given. This dog looks like a poodle, 2 front legs shaved bare, one bare belly for the ultrasounds, and now one back leg. She swears this would have started with or without the panacur. BUT, when he gets the next round of it, and any little difference call her and she'll switch it.
My local vet. just called for an update, she is gonna take the rest in for stools and heartworm blood work, she thinks if the hookworm is still around like yard, the heartworm will give them longer protection, month wise, just so in 4 months they don't reinfest themselves.
I also got my package from susan, he got a 1/2 capsule of liver enzmes today already!!
So hopefully we can go back to normal soon. I got till July 1st. to build tucker up with susan's stuff before the panacur. I am very hopeful now that I got the probiotics.
Do you think this sounds good????

sounds AWESOME - I agree as the blood work showed off before the panacur as that is why i questioned the calcium being low and I think the protein was low too so my thoughts upfront was this but was hopeful.

I am soooooooo happy he is doing better - Go Tuck Man
