Day # 263 Vet (Tick Fever)

Monday

So today I had to take off work because my first baby Penut is very sick and I had to take him to the vet. He contracted tick fever and bleeding internally. Let me tell you dogs here in grenada are so delicate, they get worms, heart worms, tick fever and they even have a sexually transmitted deceases. Any ways I did not have him when he got sick, because if you remember about 2 months ago my landlord said that I could not have him. So I found a person who had a car that was willing to transport my dog to and from his home and by the vet. Thank goodness we know a bet who does it out of her home but can still do blood work. So we didn't even have to take him out of the car, she did blood work and gave him pills right their. When she took his blood it was like red water. Not thick at all., and he was anemic, he had white gums. Poor thing was so sick, I don't know how long he had been like that before I got him back. Any ways we started him on antibiotics (Doxiciclin) and he started to get better right after that thank goodness. He will be on that for about 6 weeks. When that was over we took him home and gave him a good bath and fixed him soft food. He is back with the breeder and best friends of the person who gave Penut to me, so I will be seeing him more and keeping up better with his health. It was a long day. When I got home I started washing some cloths and cleaning up the house a bit before bed.
