I am getting so frustrated now.
He is 8mos old now. And sick again, or still.... I don't know.
One thing the vet mentioned is that since he was sick when I got him, it could have caused some damage to his nasal and he could be a chronic carrier for URI's. Ugggggggggggggg.
His lungs are clear, but his nose is not. He sneezes at least 10 times a day (even my hubby commented on it this weekend...which is weird cuz he doesn't pay attention to him) and snots boogers all over the place. I'm serious, if he sneezes near you WATCH OUT. Flying boogers. On my wall, on my floor, on my blanket, my couch, my chair. Lots of boogers.
(sidenote: it is ok to laff at the flying boogers comments)
He gets loose stools... diarrhea if fed wet for a couple days straight. Vet thinks he's got a sensitive tummy.
Sooooooo. Here we are now.
- vet gave an injectable antibiotic that lasts 2wks
- no booster shots today (he's only had his first one...still needs his 2 sets of boosters)
-repeat fungal culture to see that the ringworm is gone ( if its not gone, it certainly looks a whole lot better.... but I think its gone. He has a sore on his tail but it looks to be like the dry skin areas that he did have. The hair couldn't grow properly and ended up scabbing untill I lifted up the hair and removed the dry scab)
- no wet food for awhile.
-vet will call with the fungal results next wk.
- go back to vet in 2wks. If he's better we will do shots.
- my surgery is in 3wks.
If anyone has any thoughts/comments/suggestions about any of Kizzy's issue's, I'd be happy to hear them.
The only good thing about this visit, his weight is up to 10lbs even. In Dec. he was 4.7 @ 5mos, 7.3lbs at 6mos., 10lbs at 8mos. He's gonna be a good sized boy. I'm happy he's got something going for him right now.
