Toby update
Toby went to the vet today. He needed to see if the erlichia was cleared up. Well the vet doesn't think so as Toby's lymph nodes are still very swollen. He had me feel them and they are pretty swollen. So it's either the erlichia or lymphoma. The vet took blood to run tests especially concentrating on his thyroid. He put Toby on more antibotics for 2 weeks. He asked me to take Toby off antihistimes for now and he didn't want to give him any steroid shot. Didn't want to overload his body with drugs. His baths are back up to twice a week with a dermacool spay to spay on the hot spots. His ears look good but he said to continue his ear meds. And he is to continue ketoconazole. His neutering is going to be a bit fun. His testicles are way up inside and the vet said that wasn't good. But his yeast infection and the swollen nodes are first concern. This poor sweetheart. He is such a wonderful well mannered boy....totally housetrained. So please remember him in your prayers...especially that he doesn't have lymphoma. His story is below in a previous post. Thank you!

Re: Toby update
Good to hear you've held off neutering so far.....that would be a bit too much with all his other stuff going on. Hope he continues to improve day by day. XXX.

Re: Toby update
Hi Carol Poor Toby, at least he has you. Is he using the crate mat from the auction. This one sounds real expensive, do you need help with the vet bills??

Carey...he uses the crate pad when he's in his crate. He prefers my chair and all of the dog beds on the floor...he has so much fun hopping from one bed to another.

Re: Toby update
Oh Carol your doing the same thing I am, dealing with skin issues. Murphy isn't that bad. It is just on his armpits and on his hind legs and his left ear and eye are infected. I see Smoke got in there. He is such a cutie pie I could just squeeze him. Please hug him for me.
