Speaking of the tail end of things our beloved pug Macy is under the weather as well. A trip to the vet Monday revealed an infection in or around his left anal gland. The doctors first gave very bad news of a tumor and 3-12 months to live but shortly (if you can call two straight hours of sobbing shortly) they changed their minds and it was now an abscess. Macy was placed on antibiotics and anti inflammatory medications. The abscess was drained as best it could be and we were sent home with instructions to clean it twice a day by flushing it out. All my nursing skills are being put to the test this week. I think I'd much rather have to deliver a baby at Target! So between giving Luke Tylenol and Motrin every four hours I am applying warm packs to a pugs bottom and flushing out, what I hope every minute, is just an abscess and not a cancerous tumor. Being a mother is proving to be harder and harder each minute.
On a lighter note Luke you are walking like a champ. Still choosing to crawl when you need to get somewhere quickly but each day you make it look easier and easier! We are still in the progress of getting the video up...things have been a little more like an Urgent Care than a home!
