I got back from my trip yesterday and found Lucky so thin. I had told the vet he was retaining some fluid but he was not 100% sure. It was not real bad but he made him look a bit heavier. We had hoped it was fat. Meat on his bones as Dr M says. On the plus side (Ithink), he drained the water by himself. Lucky has not been on any meds for some time now. He got sick and tired of all the meds. He would not take anything and I stopped trying to force him.
My daughter and her family moved into the house to stay with the dogs while we were gone. He wouldn't eat a lot but she always takes good care of him and he was eating. She told me he looked angry or sad. She did not want the small kids around him. I think part of it was he missed me. On the othert hand he does look a bit sad. We will be going to the vet this week to get his liver numbers just to be sure because he once again has that breath that could knock you out. Like something died in there. :-(

Lucky gets on the bed and has shots, day 234
I went away for the week-end with Lucky's other human grandma. This left my husband in charge of all three dogs. Lucky is close to me there is hardly anyone he will leave the house with. it's like he's afraid he won'tome back. Maybe it was all those hospital stays. He's become quite neurotic but he's ours and he's alive. :-)
We left Friday afternoon . Saturday morning when my husband let the dogs out for there morning baldder run and back in he went back to bed figuring only Aly could make it on the bed to cuddle. He doesn't like it when all three of them are in the bed because he likes to take up most of the bed. Much to his surprise when he woke-up Lucky was there where I would normally be. He was so excited and called me right away. We had a celebration.
Last week on another one of our many visits to see Dr. M, he felt Lucky was well enough to have his very over due vaccines. Since everything is processed via the liver he had only had rabies. Dr. M did not want anything going through his liver that was not 100% needed. Who would have ever thought I would measure his wellness by a yearly vaccine. The tech brought the vaccines and when Dr M saw how many there were he told the tech he was only doing 3 of the 6. Only one shot, one nasal, and one liquid he had to swallow. We discussed Lucky's ears. Unfortunately he has Cocker ears and we are trying everything for him not to go the the way of his Mother, she will be having ear surgery next week.
