Finally made an appointment for Trigger. Karl took him to the vet yesterday afternoon. I was a wreck the whole time. When he got home I was afraid to go out in the kitchen to see if Trigger was still with him.
He was. :)
The vet did some basic blood tests to rule out anything major, i.e. kidney failure or diabetes. Nothing showed up. They are at a loss as to what is wrong. They sent Karl home with some vitamins and an antibiotic (which I think is crazy considering you don't eve know what is wrong with him) and they want to see him back in 2 weeks. You should see Karl trying to stick a pill down his throat. He tried this morning, unsuccessfully and decided that he would try later tonight.
So $300 dollars later we still don't know what is wrong with him. He is still drinking water, which is good. This morning I even saw him eat a couple of kibbles but that was the first time I have seen him eat in a week......ugh. It's funny because I was preparing myself for the worst yesterday and then when it didn't happen I didnt' know what to feel. My animals drive me crazy but I love them at the same time.....Kind of like my kids!!!! LOL!
On a side note Magoo has been put on a diet. The last time she went in for her physical she weighed 67 lbs, now she is a whopping 74 lbs. The vet didnt' seem overly concerned but Magoo is a smaller lab so we have to cut back on her food. Now if I can just keep Max from feeding her. LOL!
