Booger Update: Snot a tumor


  • So maybe its all of the well wishes & good vibes & prayers everybody's sending out, but the last few days have shown a steady improvement in Booger. I have not yet had a chance to speak with the doctor as we keep missing one another's calls. We ended the full week of antibiotics Thursday night, and I stopped using fabric softener sheets about a week ago. I rewashed my bedding without fabric softener. Saturday Booger was pretty much his recent usual self, sleeping & sneezing. Yesterday, however, Booger seemed a bit better. He was a little perkier than he's recently been. Today, Booger is almost his old self. He is still a bit snotty & tired, but he chased the cat some, played with Lola a bit, paced around out of boredom, and even sat down with a good bone to chew on until Lola snatched it away.
    We're not out of the woods, but I'm daring to hope just a little that maybe this problem will go away. Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers. Its such a great feeling to see him finally feeling a bit better.

    Congratulations, that is great! Ayo sounds like he's doing well. Keep the updates coming. It's great that he's gaining weight. We would love to see some pics of Ayo with some meat on his bones.

    My girls keep themselves pretty clean. The first heat is usually the messiest, and even then, it isn't too bad. The place I notice it the most is if they sleep in the bed, then I recommend you get a set of DARK sheets and duvet cover ;) I don't care fore the britches, because every female I have used them on got a vaginits infection because they couldn't keep herself clean.

    @Rivermoon: I had heard people were doing the blood gas tests on their "probably affected" dogs. Apache had just turned 2 when I got the results and I started strip testing him immediately. I've already told my husband when he turns 3 I'm taking him in for a blood gas test…I'm wondering if I should do it earlier. I'm still strip testing Chey too even though she came back as "probably a carrier". My feeling is that until they get the actual DNA test, I'm not taking any chances. And since the strips don't last long, no sense in them going to waste….
