Paxster McGillicuddy

Here's our furry baby.


I thought I'd put up a few pictures of our boy, even thought he's not feeling so well right now. He's gotten some kind of infection (his doc says it's "mites"??whatever that means). He's been on an antibiotic for weeks now and some kind of steroid for the inflamation. Then yesterday they gave him some kind of "dip" which seems to have made things worse instead of better. He's laying around like he's in pain, his paws are raw and seeping blood. The doc says this is normal, but we're both really worried about him. He's got one of those cones around his head to keep him from licking and chewing at his feet. Poor baby.

Poor Pax! I didn't realize he was that sick! Is he doing better? - Julie

Yes, he's been really bad. At one point we rushed him to the vet, he was just laying there breathing very hard when we got up. Jeff had to carry him outside and even then he wouldn't pee, just laid back down on the sidewalk.
He has gotten better in the past few days. He's having another of the 'dips' today, we're both anxious to see how this one goes.
Poor baby had had to wear one of those lamp shade things for days to keep him from licking his legs.
