Sick dog

[blackhillsbiker]

Our beloved Curly-coated Retriever is very ill. He was debarked (before we adopted him, by a breeder who wanted to keep more dogs than the city ordinances would allow). He has always had a problem with dry food, coughing and sometimes choking. Now he has developed some sort of infection. The vet has him in a "sweat bandage" until tomorrow, hoping either an abscess will come to the surface, or the swelling will go down. He got a massive dose of antibiotics and some anti-inflammatory medication. Poor baby can barely swallow. He is so miserable it breaks my heart. We lost our Scottie mix to lupus in May. I don't think I can handle something happening to Doodle.

I hope your pup recovers. Soft food for life?

Aw, poor puppydog. So sorry to hear he is suffering. Please tell him that I think he is very brave.

Oh, poor puppy. Hope he feels better soon!

Doodle will be fine after a bit

((Sends lots of doggie prayers))

Make him some chicken soup broth
