The vets are making a killing off me this month.

Ken was throwing ball for Sirus in the back yard when Sirus stopped playing and wanted to go in. Odd for him for sure. He would whine and limp around and when i went to move his leg he screamed. It turns out that Sirus sub located his hind leg this week. So Xrays and an emergency vet visit later they wanted me to give him Deramaxx and keep him on bed rest. Not a fun thing to do. I will not give him the Deramaxx because of the problems with the medication. It has a high chance of harming dogs and even causing death. He seemed to heal up pretty quick when he was not allowed to play any more. He needs to learn not to launch in the air to get the ball.

The no exercize is driving him insane though. Soon he can get back to normal I hope.

A couple weeks ago kens parents came by and his dad had the sniffles. I got sick shortly after that too and so did ken. I was stupid and never thought that it might cause problems. Strabo came down with a cold and I watched it. He has had many of them. However rather than getting better it got worse. I made an appointment to take him to the vets. He was coughing and having trouble breathing. The vet took Xrays and put him on 2 different antibitics. he also gave him a penicillian shot. The shot caused a bad reaction and I had to run out quick and get some benadryl for him. He was on the antibotics for a week but they really didnt help much so back to the vets we went. They tried him on heart pills thinking it might be congestive heart failure and not pneumonia. The heart pills did not help either. So the next week, again back to the vet and we did more Xrays. the liquid around his heart was getting better so they want him now to do 4 more weeks of antibitics. Today however his cough and breathing got worse again. so the vet now has him on some mediction to help him breath. He is a very sick little ferret.
