Not much I can do until the other test is done....so trying to not think to hard on it. (that is not easy .. haha.. I almost called him back a few times today).

Honestly, it lepto has caused her issues, my guess is it started in October when she was diagnosed with PLN. Not much I could do now to undo that. I don't know....I have pups that run crazy in my yard and get into everything. Olivia is not like that...I simply cannot
fathom her getting lepto. But from what I understand it is not that difficult for them to get it if it is around. I don't know....just need to let it go until the final test is done.
Isn't Lepto the one that can enter through the nose and even the eyes through droplets? It's always at the back of my mind when I am walking the boys and Max is sticking his face in damp grass, eyes wide open, sniffing away. Praying Olivia's final test will return happy news. I have a good feeling it will.

Relative to taking meds, Olivia reminds me of our first dog, Puff. We could give her a pill and think we had done our job. She would spit it out 10 minutes later. She was unreal! lol
