He had to go to the Vet today. I don't care how many Dog Treats you have if he knew that truck ride was going to turn into a trip to the Vet you couldn't have gotten him in. Every time he goes there someone is poking him, sticking him, squeezing him or cutting something off. (he hasn't been the same for the Vet since the neuter job). This time though was for his sore little paw. I noticed him limping and within just a couple of days he could hardly put it on the floor. There's some swelling in the joint, the ankle I suppose you'd call it and his temp was Really high. The first thing the Vet did was test him for Lyme disease. Turns out that Lyme Disease can hiberante for an extrodinary amount of time then surface. He was all clear for that though. The Dr. doesn't think it's a break, nothing felt broken and if it is a fracture there's nothing really you can do but keep him off of it as much as possible and let it heal. A cast isn't a good option. Zeke has been loaded up meds and I have to keep an eye on him to make sure it doesn't get any worse. Seems that Lyme Disease also can fool the test sometimes so one of the meds is actually a treatment for that just to be on the safe side.
Keep my little buddy in your thoughts and send him healing wishes. I'm going to give him an special All Natural Treat tonight for all his troubles today.
