K9 Karen's Cody is ill

[Sudilar]

No, Karen, the amoxicillin doesn't make Killian drink alot, but he isn't a big drinker to begin with. It does make his appetite go away. He is back to only one meal a day. He refuses his breakfast.

My brother's dog had a stroke and it took him a while to recoup, but he did recover!

Sorry I am a little late. That must have been so scary. I am so glad that he is starting to feel like himself again. Also don't listen to that person that said cody is on his way out. Dogs are living longer and longer. There was a dog at my job that just went to the RB. He had just turned 20 years old. His name was spirit. This is probably just a scary episode that will pass. And Cody will live many more years.

The silly big galoot is getting better...must be all those lovely prayers that we both can feel..The only thing I notice that upsets me terriibly is that he has a problem with his left leg. He struggles to get up but it looks as though he's not putting total pressure on it when he walks, but he's not holding it up. I caught him licking his foot a few times too. I examined it the best I could but couldn't find a thing embedded or cut, but he growled slightly and pulled it away. I massaged his back legs and moved them around. We have a vet appt on Wed for his distemper shot, so I'll have Dr. Fox give him another physical. Of course when he's there, and they want to see him walk, he almost gallops towards the door to leave so they don't see what I see on a daily basis. I may have to contact the surgeon who operated on his knees and break the bank and get Codsky an MRI. I just hate having him under anesthia (sp) but whatever works. By the way, the person who told me he's "going down hill"(and yes he does..down our hill to poop! LOL is a nurse at the nursing home called "General" who thinks everyone is a pain in the butt..so there ya go..consider the sourse! Cody's not allowed to leave me just yet.

Go, Cody Go!!!!! Karen, I'm on pins and needles every day, thinking about our Cody. I'm so glad to hear the happy update. But I'm wondering...do you remember the night we talked and you said he grrrrrr'd when you tried to move his leg??? I wonder if that's the problem??? Give Cody a BIG hug and kiss from me and lots of slurpy licks from Cody Girl and Star***Shine! We love that guy!!
