RobinM Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) I've notice the last few days he has seemed depressed.My initial thought was maybe he was not happy here. Yesterday he was very droopy. Temp today was 103, brought him in to vet and it was 104.5 Vet gave shot, started him on doxy 100mg 3x a day and did a full cbc and TBD which they send to protec. OY. Poor Ollie. The good news is he is up 10 pounds, he has about another 10 to go. He is up to 80. His racing weight was 84.

Guest eaglflyt Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Robin, I'm sure he must love his new home. I'm praying that he is rapidly diagnosed, treated and feeling great soon. (((HUGS!!!))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Poor Ollie :-(( Glad to hear about the TBD panel to Protatek, and the Doxy. Surely cannot hurt while you are waiting. Hope he feels better soon! He is beefing up nicely, though :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinM Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 I did forget to add that he has some brusing on the inside of his thighs, near his privates. Adding up the fever, lethargy and bruises= TBD? We will find out soon. I feel so badly for him. He is such a good good boy. The most perfect boy.

Guest vezzerina Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Poor Ollie. He is very lucky to have you looking out for him. I am sure he will perk up once he is feeling better. What is the bruising from? Lyca gets bruises if she accidentally runs into something (like a park bench during a sprint once- ouch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carronstar Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Robin, there is no way on earth that Ollie isn't happy there with you. That is just impossible.

Good news right now, though, I just took his temp and it's 101.5. I was getting a bit concerned. Now he will go out for the last pee of the night and hopefully tomorrow, he will start feeling better.

Guest eaglflyt Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm so glad they have his sample sent off to Protatek. Hopefully you'll have results soon and starting Doxy while waiting is a very good thing! Maybe RMSF? Our vet had seen a few cases here this year.
