Toby's vet check
Toby was worked in today at the vet's....I knew Dr. Rory was smitten with this guy. Anyway...we found some stubble of hair in the new bare spots. So he wanted to try the Malesab(sp) shampoo. He told me that all dogs have the mallezia on their skin...it's whether the body keeps it under control. With Toby's weakened immune system he is just having a harder time fighting it. He noticed one of Toby's ears was a little greasy so we'll use his ear drops again. So for the moment we're just going to change his shampoo and see if that helps to get it back to clearing up. And we're to keep an eye on the stools. They are firmer but still not normal. So no more amox and we'll see if those firm up as well. So maybe Toby caught a chill or a bug and could have set everything into motion. The little stinker conned them out of treats :o) Dr. Rory went and found Toby some lamb treats because that would be better for his stomach. Now can you say...Toby has the vet wrapped around his little paw?!!! Thank you for the support and wishes and prayers for this guy...he sure knows how to worm his way into your heart. Now my co-pilot and I have to go and pick Angela up from school. Toby has already called shotgun...LOL!!!!!

Re: Toby's vet check
Sounds like you and your vet have a plan in place for Toby's recovery. I hope everything works out.
Way to Go Toby on getting the extra treats.
Carol I wouldn't worry about Toby calling Shotgun, I would worry if he wants to drive, LOL

Thanks for the update! How old is Toby now? Of course he has the dogtor wrapped around his paw, who wouldn't love him?
We are praying and thinking positive thoughts for him, and you too!

Toby is around 12 years young...don't know when his actually birthdate is...just 1994...strange when the person that released him to rescue owned Toby for 7 years.
Toby ate a good supper again last night and knows what time he should be taking his meds....he stands and looks at the refrigerator...that's where the cream cheese is. He's going to get his first bath today with the new shampoo. Just waiting for the morning chill to leave. He has some spunk now. He got me up at 3am to potty and then again at 5am.
All I know he is very dear to us.
