Thanks everybody for your support and kind words!!! Bentley is doing really good, and he hasn't seemed to have been phased in the least by any of this!
I am glad that he never was in any pain and thankfully it all went as well as it did!!
I initially wasn't going to post yet another mishap...but well we have been dealing with it all day so here goes... We were having some pretty severe issues with his skin so he began seeing the dermatology specialist at the same clinic about two months ago,and he has made such a drastic improvement. He has been on only one RX food...nothing else.. Well, by mistake, he was not given his proper food in the ICU recovery.( they had his records, and I gave the info on his admit etc, it was just overlooked accidentally).. and he has literally scratched all night and all day and huge clumps of hair are all over the house.... he had just been weened off of all of his medicine and he was doing so good!! And with him being off of his medication it was going to allow us to see if it was truly a food allergy. I'm not sure if he will have to start over on his medicine regimen or what..
I realize this is hardly the end of her world.. however, this has been over two months that he has been seeing them... I have been so strict with controlling his food... no treats..using the caned food version of the food for treats, etc... and I have been obsessive about weaning his medication so that we would know if it was the medication or the food etc that was working.....and it is a LONG process.... I just hate the thought of having to start all over!!! uggggg... He is scheduled to see the dermatologist again, and I'm calling in the morning to move his appointment up bc his reaction is sooo severe!!
To be fair, he also did of course have the slice of raw bacon.
But, ugggg, I just want everything to settle down for a little while!!
