Oh noes!!! Poor Sherman! You were supposed to be getting BETTER! Not worrying your human and the rest of us to death.

So very glad that you're in the hospital. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon.

Yeah, as much as we love our fuzzies to be unique in their personalities it's no fun when they're the oddballs when it comes to health.

Two things come to mind when i think of King and being an oddball in health. When we put him on the EVA he had bloating like there was no tomorrow and stomach upset. I did hours and hours and hours of digging. I found no occurrences of dogs getting it in the dog trials. In human trials it was said to be very rare and almost always in those rare cases it was in women. (We just had to adjust the dosing for the first month and then we had no problems after that.)

When he had a testicle removed it was about a week later that his sack started to swell. Thinking it was infected stitching the vet told us just to use the antibiotic creme. Well it kept swelling until it popped. (Disgusting and SCARY! I was home alone with him when it happened.) They thought for sure i meant the stitching ripped. When i called the emergency clinic they thought the same thing. (It was determined that it wasn't an emergency since he wasn't bleeding profusely.) When we did get King in the next day the vet was shocked. Low and behold i DO know what I'm talking about. He said in all the years he's been vetting he's never even heard of that let alone seen it. All he could suggest is fill it with more creme and rub that around. That if it was indeed infection that stitching it up would do more harm than good. (Oh yeah... that was SO fun. *sarcasm*)

Why oh why?! I loved King being unique, but did he really have to be unique in just about every conceivable way? :-/p

Here's hoping that Sherman isn't unique, at least not right now *HUGS* This would be a very bad time for him to be. When he's better, then he can go back to being unique.
