SoL Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, he's definitely getting there His ears have only relaxed ever so slightly but the rest of him is nice and supple. He can run properly now, jump and is a lot happier in himself. His meds have been reduced to 3mg instead of 5mg (which is better for all of us - poor kid is very lumpy from being a pincushion) and I've just asked if I can take him off the Valium. The vet is also very happy with his progress. I just wonder how long recovery will actually be? And yep, he's teething so fingers crossed there as well.

SoL Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks guys :D I can't actually tell you how much of a relief it is to see him getting better. It'll take a bit longer I think but he's definitely on the right track. Can't wait for the day when the vet says he doesn't need meds anymore.

VJB Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've just finished reading this whole thread. What a terrible experience. You are very strong and I'm glad your pup has you as it's owner. I can feel your relief at him getting better. Poor boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have just seen this thread, and my first thought was Tetanus, I have nursed three dogs with it. Two survived, the third the owner chose to let the little one go due to cost restraints. The interesting thing with the third puppy was he had lived in town, Esperance, all his life, the other dogs we had seen had been off stations where they from time to time had sheep and horses affected by Tetanus. He had no wounds any of us could find, and about the only thing the little fella could move was his tail. It just so didn't fit the senario a tetanus affected dog should. I am so glad your boy is recovering, it will take time but he will get there in the end, bummer about the injections, no human tablets you could possibly use? Hugs to a brave boy.

SoL Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 The need for twice daily injections is OVER He's doing really well, ears are almost fully down and he's charging about like there's no tomorrow. He's now been put on Amoxyl tablets (I personally am very happy about that LOL). I think I can actually take him for a walk now I'll put a photo up of him when he's fully recovered.
