Thanks for caring, everyone. You are all super wonderful. I just got back from the vet with Graham and Kersey. Kersey had her rear dewclaws removed and Graham's foot swelled quite a bit where he stepped on the nail. Out of the hole in his foot, there was puss oozing out. I knew that they had to treat him, because I can't have him developing permenant damage to his good foot too.

All is well. I am soaking Graham's foot in epsom salt and nolvasan, plus he has an antiobiotic plus another refill of rimidyl tabs. If his swealing does not go down by Saturday I have to take him back to the vet to have them anesthitize Graham and look into the hole and make sure there are no splinters, or anything. My poor pups

Kersey also surprised me after we left the vets office I took the dogs to go to the bathroom before we hit the road, and Kersey pooped and there were these white things that were MOVING in her poop!!! Now I did put her on Frontline and Advantage when I first got her, but she must have ingested a flea at some point in her life before she came to live with us because she has TAPEWORMS!!! I was really disgusted! On Saturday I even had them run a stool check on her and it came out negative for any parasites. So Kersey was also de-wormed today. That is probablly why she's just so thin, and she does not seem to be gaining any weight even though I feed her alot.

I hope that this is it for the vet care for awhile! I also hope that Graham's foot heals up.

Thanks again for the nice comments. And thank you for helping me through this with all the kind words.

Love,

Leslie, Graham & Kersey
