Well, so day 2 hasn't been so productive. But I guess I'm getting ready to start full force here shortly - and yes, it's 5 o'clock! I did sleep late but I also had a full day at the vet for annual vaccinations for all dogs and B's checkup. Copper and Rufus have clean bills of health and they are now resting comfortably after a tough night outside "camping". B, on the other hand.... oh poor B!
On a happy note, his sores are looking much better and we are just going to extend his antibiotics for another 5 days just until they are all cleared up. The bad news is that he has heartworms. For those of you without dogs, that is a terminal diagnosis if left untreated. So we will treat it, of course. It's just tough on the dog and tough on our pocket book. It's not an inexpensive thing to do BY ANY MEANS, but we aren't going to just let him die. So we'll probably start his treatment next week. The doc said his heart sounds good and he hasn't shown any symptoms yet, so that's good.
Considering what the checkups and vaccinations for 3 dogs cost, plus the cost of the heartworm treatment to come, I decided not to spend the money on a paint sprayer and I'm just going to suck it up and paint on my own. I'm off to start that right now. Oy!
