Oreo's not been feeling very well lately. He's been walking very sluggish and not been as energetic as usual. Tonight, his eyes are nearly swollen shut from the "gunk" that is in them. They were open and clear last night... the last time we gave him the benadryl (like we're supposed to do twice a day) he got sick, so we haven't given it to him in a couple of weeks. I know him being sick with these allergies is our fault for stopping the benadryl... but he got sick and couldn't even move right. He was just acting NOT himself, so hubby and I decided to see how he'd do without it. Guess that was stupid.
When we adopted him from that abusive home, had I known then that he'd have so many medical issues... *sigh* I'd have still taken him. He's so loving and sweet. He doesn't deserve this.
He's going to the vet as soon as we can get an appointment. They're open late on Thursdays, so hopefully after we get off work tomorrow we can get him over to them before they close.
I'm just upset and felt like posting... please don't lecture me on stopping the benadryl. I feel bad enough. I'll update after he sees the vet; he'll probably have to get another steroid shot. That'll hold him a week and a half or two. Poor baby.
