Oreo is sick again! New vet update msg 24

[Moesha]

Any word about what the "something" on his chest was/is?

[Scooter's Mom]

The thing on his chest area is scabbing from his chewing... hubby was just kinda afraid to look closely at it. He's got a weak tummy. (He can't even pick up a hairball without gagging.)

Tonight when we got home from work and gave Mr. Oreo his medicine, he was so happy. He even did the tail wag/butt wiggle. I was happy to see that. I am going to keep giving him all the medicine... and pray he does improve.

Thanks for the well wishes and the words of encouragement. I've been feeling bad since I haven't had much time to really spend one-on-one with any of the babies since I've been in classes.

I'll let ya'll know what the vet says tomorrow after we go for his 1st follow-up.

Glad to see he is responding well! Keep it up, Oreo, lots of folks are rooting for you!

[Scooter's Mom]

Oreo seems to be improving already!
We can see some white in his eyes. Keep him in your thoughts, please!

Oreo saw the other vet this morning... Dr. De Monte, instead of Dr. Wooton. She gave him eye drops that were for pain, said that his eyes were terrible... but if we say they're better than they were Thursday she'll take us at our word. (She wasn't there on Thursday.) We have to take him in next Saturday to have his eyes re-checked. She is really concerned about how they look, even with us telling her they are improved.

She gave us some shampoo/conditioner to bathe him in once a week. We are supposed to try trimming his face hair this week, too.

Also, she said she detected a slight heart murmur. But, she says that could be a result of eveything else that is going on - some dogs have it happen while sick with other things and then it clears up. So we have to keep an eye on that, too.

Overall, not a bad report I think... not the greatest but it could have been worse.

I sure hope that the meds will help him and that he'll feel better soon. I'm sending some prayers and positive thoughts his way.

Sounds like Oreo is on alot of different meds. I hope the eye drops for pain that the vet prescribed today will help him feel more comfortable.
Prayers that he will improve over the week and have a good re-check next Saturday.
