Well Duncan went to the vet yesterday. He has a fever . She put him on some medicine for his sore fanny ( I can't remember the name of it) but she didn't want to put him on antibiotics because she was concerned they would upset his belly more. He has to eat his bland diet for a few weeks along with 10 days of the medicine and 2 pepcid tablets a day. She said the butter probably did it but she's not sure since he does have a slight fever. She felt his belly and said it was "tense" but that could have been because he was really nervous. If his fever is not gone in a few days and he is still acting strange along with the diarrhea, we'll go back for blood tests.

He is usually very good at the vets but yesterday he tried to "get" the vet. She came around the table to examine him and he lunged at her barking and growling. I had taken his gentle leader off so that she could get a better look at his ears and mouth if necessary. I put it back on him and held his head while she examined him. I had to do the tooth and gum part for her. She was very nice about it. I thought she would be mad and give him a red sticker on his file!! But she understood that he was very "protective" and very nervous and wary of strangers. So it's the "one step forward, two steps back" theory again!!!

On top of all that, last night, I found a pretty sizable cut on his back paw, right next to his pad. So I put triple antibiotic on that and will keep an eye on it! Boy, it's alot of work to have a dog!! Whew
