I would want to hide too...




...if I had your problems! I spent $200 at the vet getting a second opinion of my dog's problems. It was worth it, because i feel like I can really help him now.

He gets a bath twice a week with medicated shampoo to help his skin feel better from his skin infection. He gets an antibiotic for the next 21 days. He gets an ear cleanser to help with his waxy ears. He gets a pill to help him with his diarrhea. I can't help him with his cataracts, his ataxia, or his neurological problems (either a brain tumor or spinal cord problem) but I can try to make him more comfortable. This new vet thinks he is more than 10 years old. So the rescue group I got him from lied to me or were misinformed. They thought he was 5 to 7 years old.

I guess I sure know how to pick 'em. But I just love him so much, almost from the moment I saw him. I just have to watch my budget now and not spend so much money on stuff. It helps that I didn't spend much on x-mas presents this year (I am Jewish, but I still buy gifts for my parents and nephews and nieces, since they are not Jewish). And I was going to buy my husband an expensive cell phone, but it will have to wait now! :)
