It has been an itchy day

Ke-ola had an itchy day. He'd been scratching for a a couple of days but this morning I noticed that he had a rash on his neck, chest, abdomen and his groin. All he wanted to do outside was scratch himself on the wall. I called Pet Hospital and they set up an appointment to see him in the afternoon.

Ke-ola rolled on the grass for the first time today. It made me so happy to see him enjoying the outdoors like a healthy, happy doggy.

Waiting to see Dr. Rossi

Ke-ola loves Dr. Rossi and Liz
and so do we!

We had a great visit with Dr. Rossi at Pet Hospital. Ke-ola has gained almost 10 pounds! He is now 64.7 lbs. His chest looks much thicker and his ribs are almost invisible. His energy level is through the roof. He wanted to "meet" every dog in the waiting room. Sadly he gets overly enthusiastic so the other pups preferred to keep their distance. 

Dr. Rossi thinks that Ke-ola has an allergic skin reaction so she gave us a topical spray and information about over the counter allergy medications. We're hoping it will clear up quickly. His lungs sounded better but we need to keep up with the antibiotics, bathroom steam and the coupage to help clear them completely. He has a follow up next week once he finishes this course of antibiotics to check his lungs more throughly. Paws crossed he'll be cleared and then he can have his neuter procedure.

One of Ke-ola's favorite people…Annie!

Happy Valentines Day! Wishing you and your pack Peace, today and everyday. Thank you for visiting.

I would like to thank my husband for spending our 25th anniversary together, patiently and kindly helping me take care of dogs. And thank you to my beautiful son's for cooking a wonderful Valentine Anniversary dinner for us. It wasn't what we had planned for today but it was a wonderful day all the same.
