My day actually was turning out to be pretty good yesterday. Stopped by the house to change my clothes and let the dogs out. Wait, something's wrong with Tod. I didn't know what to do but I could see it in his eyes and the lack of wag in his tail that he needed to be seen. I called Ryan, Ryan called the vet and off we went.
The vet isn't 100% sure what it is but when I got there he was already going septic. She thinks it's either a fractured tooth or a foreign object like a splinter. He's on antibotics and a pill to help the swelling. I put a warm compress on it every hour last night and he's with Ryan today. What's crazy about all of this is I normally have been going straight to the gym after work - but I realized that I need to make sure my babies are taken care of too. So I changed my schedule to play with them for 45 minutes before going to the gym. Had I not started doing that, by the time I got home from the gym, it would of been too late to take him to the vet - and having no idea how serious it was I probably would of waited till today and he could have gone septic. All in all - it did turn out to be a great day - I was able to save Tod from further infection.
Oh! Switched my training to tonight - I'm sure I'll have plenty to go on about in the department of soreness tomorrow.
TGIF! Cheers!
It's crazy the way pups can get sick or be sick and we don't even know it. I took our 6 month old Boxer girl in to be spayed last Friday and had pre-op blood work done, turns out she had an e coli infection so extra tests and 2 weeks of antibiotics and then more tests, maybe then the original surgery can happen. She is like super full of energy now:) Glad you got your puppy taken care of in time:)

Poor little guy. So glad you stopped home and could make it to the vet. Hope he heals up fast.

how's the dog? recovering I hope. could not believe how many quilts you made in a year while working, living life, rescuing dogs! I'm a lurker but couldn't stand not knowing how the dogs are doing.

Hope Tod is doing better and that you can still move around a bit without major pain. How goes the quilting? What happened with all the things that were going on just after your BD?
