Sick dog

[PamNY]

So sorry to hear! Hope he's better soon. Doodle is a great name.

He got back from the vet today and his fever is down. No abscesses. Still has a sore throat, but he seems to be on the mend.

Yes, debarking is gruesome (IMHO). He has been left with scar tissue, a chronic dry cough and no voice. It is becoming illegal throughout the eastern states, although breeders are objecting. They are calling it "bark softening." Somehow the euphemism makes it sound more acceptable. For my part, I think it is cruel and unnecessary. I'd love to know what Doodle's voice would sound like.

He's a sweet, well-mannered boy. right now he's laying at my feet and snoring softly, paws twitching. Lookout dream squirrels!

Thanks for all the good thoughts. He got so sick so fast it really frightened us.

So glad he is home! Home is the best place to recover.

Doodle is lucky to have such a safe and loving home.
