Hello Everybody
Thank you again for you continued support and prayers. I know every bit helps. I am trying to stay strong and am having a better day today.
Chuey is about the same. He picks up his head and looks around. Picks up his head to eat. Stood up twice and crawl out of his kennel once. Then he just lays around on his blankets till I change his belly band or feed him. He desperately needs a FULL bath and haircut, but he's working with what he's got. His eyes look a little sad but I would even say he just looks so bored, its really bizarre. He doesn't look like he's in pain or anything like that. He just doesn't make a sound...ever. His breathing is normal. He's been pretty good with that for a while.
I had to make a decision and hope I made the right one. I have stopped giving him his antibiotics. Chu has been on 5 different antibiotics since Christmas!! Dr Valentine said they weren't making a difference anymore because what he has now is not bacterial. I thought about it for a day after seeing him. Its really hard to trust that he is right. But Chu hasn't walked right since he was in the hospital and started the antibiotics. So if he has no infection now, what do I have to lose?
So I stopped those and have been giving him some water with minerals dr v gave him. I am still giving him the prednisone. I don't know what his other vet is going to say or whether he is really going to care, but we'll see. I may not need to see him again. It's really hard to know the right thing to do. I just can't wait to see Chu stronger. I can't believe he's come this far to give up. He won't give up, and I won't either!
Thank you again for all your help!
