Got a new puppy! - Page 3

I know, I am glad he is better. I ended up spending another 330.00 in vet bills having to take him back, and also he is on prescription food that you can only buy in the vet's office, but it's worth it to me. Thanks.

Its good to hear that your puppy is improving Carrie

hotforscott · 08-30-2005, 04:31 PM

He is doing REALLY well today, he had a really good night, no episodes, and has been a normal puppy today, just a little sore from the stitches and I think the meds make him a little lethargic, but he is doing GREAT.

Wow, Carrie, what a roller-coaster ride with Ajax! I'm sooo glad to hear he is doing better. You will have to post a pic of him at some point

Here is a photo of my son Tyler holding Ajax the first day we got him.

Dang it, the file is too large, let me resize, and then I will attach it.

hotforscott · 08-30-2005, 07:05 PM

I may have made it too tiny, let's see.

Dogstar · 08-30-2005, 08:38 PM

Awwww, he's a little tiny thing. How cute. I got your other pics! Your hair got so long!! You and your kids look great!!!

hotforscott · 08-30-2005, 09:47 PM

Thanks! You know, everyone says that about my hair, but I guess I don't notice it, because I look at it everyday. LOL. It doesn't seem very long to me. I wish I had a better picture to send, but I am not very photogenic.

He is a teeny tiny little thing. About 4 pounds right now. Will only grow to be 7 pounds. The neighbor called him a squirrel today.

Dogstar · 08-30-2005, 10:08 PM

LOL! I think you take a great picture!

hotforscott · 08-30-2005, 10:09 PM

Thanks.

You'll never believe this,

You know how the puppy's been doing so great, and everythings been fine with him, and he's been eating.

Well, today, I had him outside to "handle his business" and he ran under my feet and I stepped on him, and his paw was really hurt, he couldn't even walk on it. I took him to the vet and they don't see a break, but he has a cast for the next 5 days.

I feel like shit. Poor little thing.

I just hope this doesn't keep him from eating. I do not want to go that route again. They gave him a pain shot so he is crashed now. I will let you know if he improves.

Just an update!

hotforscott · 09-01-2005, 04:38 PM

Oh, and I guess I misunderstood them last time at the vet. I thought he was 4 pounds, but he is only 1 pound 11 oz.

Easily breakable.

He is a tough little cookie.

Dogstar · 09-01-2005, 08:31 PM

Awwwwwwwwww, poor little thing

I'm sure he'll hang in there. He's already been pretty tough. I'm glad nothing's broken, though.

hotforscott · 09-01-2005, 11:38 PM

I know, he welps everytime he has to walk on it, but he is getting up and going potty, and eating and drinking, so that's good, but you can tell he really wants to play, and can't, because it hurts. I am giving him the pain meds as directed, and he has had some diareah, but Craig says that the meds and stress cause it, and that's it's normal, and as long as he is eating, he is okay. I feel so awful, but the vet said once a week, they get a toy dog like that in there with something broken. I can take the cast off in 5 days, but he has to be watched really closely, because if he naws at it too much he could tighten it and cut off his circulation. I noticed that when he first got home, and was doped up on the shot they gave him, that he nawed at his stitches a lot, and I had to watch real close, and nip it in the bud, cuz that would have been a HUGE mess. I am telling you, this has been a roller coaster. It's a good thing these dogs are known to live 15-17 years, because I don't think I will be taking on another puppy for quite some time. I am exausted mind, body and pocketbook.

He is worth it though.
