    Thanks so much everyone. Poor Duke has been at the vet all day long. They were totally booked and had to fit him in. So, they didn't even start doing tests until about 2:30 We've been separated for half the day for nothing. Good news is his bloodwork came out normal. He didn't pant at all last night and his breathing was much better. I didn't sleep worth crap and have been up since 5 worrying about him. They're doing xrays now and hopefully will call soon so I can pick him up. I have to work tomorrow and haven't gotten to spend any time with him today. He wouldn't even walk back the to cage area without me. He kept looking back, making sure I was following the girl that had him. He's going to be very hungry and thirsty, too, because he couldn't have any water or food in case he had to be sedated. I'm thinking I'll just give him one Benedryl every night after supper. I think they are really helping him. Thanks for your concern. This will really put me at ease for the big trip ahead.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.

    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    It may just be allergies too Val! Since the benadryl is helping him with his panting and sneezing. He may have been just clogged up and struggling to breathe a little more air. Jessie had allergies and would sneeze and pant, and her eyes would get red. Then benadryl and some eye drops helped her out. Glad to hear he's doing better!

    Ok. Just got back from vet. Good news is they could find nothing wrong. That makes me feel a lot better about taking that long trip. The only thing that doesn't look quite normal is his liver count. But, it hasn't changed since his appointment in August. So, we're just going to be looking closely to make sure if he does change at all, we'll be sure to catch it. Bad news is, it cost $172 to find this out. But, I'd pay that and more to keep him healthy. He just got through eating dinner and I sang him the happy dog song while he had his noserubber on his favorite blanket. Thanks so much for everyone's kind words. They helped a lot. Seems like I worried so much for nothing.

    It is very scary! I was going to try and put this video in my other reply so as not to make a new one but couldn't. Here's Duke at the fountain before the vet this morning. I was trying to get the nice sound of the fountain but a construction truck came by near the end of it.

    That's wonderful news Val! I'm so glad nothing was found, that has to put your heart at ease finally. I know those vet bills can get a bit hefty but having that peace of mind is worth it I'm sure. The video of him was beautiful, give him a hug from me please

    What a HUGE relief it was to read this morning that the vet found nothing seriously wrong with our Duke I'm so happy for you Al, that you can now take your trip with your mind a bit more at ease and your heart, tons lighter As Jess says, we all know how those vet visits can drain the wallet. But I'm sure knowing that there's nothing seriously wrong with him was well worth the cost Please give Duke a big hug and kiss for me
