Killian update 12/31/02

[Sudilar]

Killian went to the vets yesterday because he had some crusty growths on his ears that were slowly spreading. She ruled out sarcopic mange and "cradle cap" that puppies get. The vet said that it may be that his immune system is starting to act up because of his liver. Oh no, just what I need now. He is still eating and I've started giving him Salmon mixed with his home-cooked now (Omega 3 helped when we first got him and his fur and skin was a mess). The people at the vets and the techs just ohh and ahhh'd over how good he looks. Can't believe that he has liver disease. Hope this salmon and topical corticorsteroids help nip this in the bud!

Sue, it is good to hear Killian is doing really well except for his ear problem. I pray you can figure out how to clear the bumpies on his ear too! This guy is so lucky to have you for his momma!

[mugsy]

Poor Killi....I hope the salmon does the trick. I'm glad that he's still eating well. You're such a good mom!!

Great news, Sue!! How our handsome Killian must WOW! the ladies at the vets!!!! Star's jealous! Salmon, our favorite!! Star was heading out the door when she heard what's on the menu. But I told her you all have enough to deal with right now!! Hope Killi's ear responds well to the salmon and medic. Of course Star thinks a few "in person" kisses would do the trick! Love to you Killian from all of us here!!

Sue, I was so glad to hear Killian is doing well, I hope the new medicine nips this thing in the bud. I'll bet he is one dog who likes to go to the Vet with all the girls after him. LOL

With all the vet trips that he has made, it is like his second home!! He goes with the girls readily. They all like him.

Glad to hear Killi is doing well. You lucky dog! Kia's jealous that you get salmon with your food.

I hope his bumpies go away soon.

I sure hope Killian ears get better and he stays well.

[Sudilar]

Thank you!!

I see a little improvement in the ear tips. That's good. When I put the medicine on though, his fur on the tips, comes off. It's not all bare, though.

C'mon Killi - you can do it! We are all behind you with prayers and healthy healing thoughts!

I'm so proud of how your big spirit carries you through all these "obstacles" - running the agility course of health! And I'm proud of your devoted Mom - looking after every part of you inside and out.

Keep going, sweetie Killian! Keep going!

[tatsxxx11]

What great words from Anti Pam!! Yes Killi, you certainly are our canine hero! And your Mom is a hero as well; and an angel! The 2 legged kind! Get well soon dear Killian! You never seem to lose your spirit or willingness to tackle any and every obstacle that's thrown in your path! Love and hugs and slurpies from Aunt Sandra, Star***Shine and Cody Girl!!

[Sudilar]

Thank you!! The thing about it is that Killi takes everything in stride. You should see our twice daily routine of passing out meds and cleaning his lip-folds and nose. No matter what you do to him, he answers with a big slurp. He truly is an exceptional dog. He makes everything I have to do for him worthwhile. When I first got him I called him my Angel dog. He still is.

Sue, he and you are truly special. I'm glad he got a good report and I hope that the ears will be better in no time.
