Default Update on Miso

So I have been so exhausted, tired, frustrated, sad, everything in the last few days.

poor puppy has had an awful time. So monday I took miso to vet off post because the vet on post was "out of supplies" (seriously?) Well he got the nebulizer treatment and antibiotics two times a day for three days.

That day after we came home he was ok for the day thanks to the nebulizer, but the night time rolled around and he was awfully sick. Hacking, and couldn't breath. I spend so much time with him in the bathroom with the steam on. He slept with me all night long.

The next day he stopped eating and drinking. I had to force his meds. I called the vet that evening and she said it didnt sound like an emergency. I was stuck at home (in Korea downtown Seoul) with no way to get to post to buy supplies) My husband finally came back this night. He didn't eat and drink for about 36 hours and apparently they didn't consider that an emergency in a 5/6 week puppy. Finally my husband came home from his trip and we went to the store and I got him to eat some scrambled eggs and chicken, actually a lot! Which stimulated him to drink again. So now he is eating and drinking and I feel much better about it.

We went to the people who we bought him from and they wanted to take him back, nurse him back to health and then give him back. we asked where they would keep him, upstairs, in a 1 foot by 1 foot cage, no humidifier, and no one around after 8pm. UM NO WAY. Thats my baby. They did give us cough syrup though. Which is another story. I called the vet on post and the said they didnt have cough syrup there. WHAT?

So today we go back to the vet on post for vaccines, and Kimchi gets micro chipped and rabies vaccine, (I hope i dont go off on them) and then off post to the other vet, since the on post vet cant do nebulizers either.

Its been crazy but I think he is slowly making progress. Keep him in your thoughts.
