queenwinniesmom Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Aw, poor boy. It's doubly hard when you don't know exactly what you're dealing with. Glad he's feeling somewhat better, and hoping for more good updates.

Xan Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just got a call back from the vet about Pogo's blood test. White cells within normal, but elevated ... um ... did she say leucocytes? Lymphocytes? I should have written it down. Anyway, indicates a bacterial infection, so she does want him on 1000mg cephalexin twice a day. Luckily, I had some, but only a couple days' worth at that dose. He is doing better today, so that's good. I've been sneaking him a handful of food here and there. He'd lost some weight somehow, and is looking pretty boney, for him. Maybe just by fighting off the bug? Wish I could lose weight that fast!

Xan Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks for the hugs. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but as long as he continues to get better, and the others don't get sick, I'm okay with the mystery.

MerlinsMum Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Just seeking this, Xan. I hope you can get to the bottom of this and that, until then, the meds help make Pogo feel better. :goodluck Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine.

Xan Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks! He's quietly enjoying a little late afternoon sunshine at the moment. His appetite is improved, too.

Xan Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks! He seems just about back to normal this morning! He was a little slow to finish his breakfast, but I put a bit extra in, plus it was probably not so tasty, with vit.s mixed in. His breathing looks normal to me, right now, and he was trying to get us to play with his mashed-flat volleyball out in the yard, so it looks like we dodged whatever bullet was aimed at him! : Thanks for all your good thoughts and wishes! Must have worked! Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.
