Just wondering how the vet visit went. Has anyone heard anything?

Thanks for checking on us !   I had a list of errends to run today since I was off.   Of course, Rudy was full of energy and excited to go to the vets - he always is - crazy boy !  Dr. M looked him over from head to toe and listened to my play by play.  He really couldn't find anything wrong - but did take blood for blood work to see if anything shows up.    He got a butt squeeze and they said he was really full - so that may have had something to do with him feeling puny. 

I am still watching him closely and if he acts that way again - I will take him to the vet immediatly.  He did bark at me for treats - so that is one more thing he normally does and hadn't done for a couple days.

Thanks for thinking of us - I just KNOW that something was going on with him, but is frusterating not to know exactly what.

Hope everyone has a good weekend - it is hotter than you know what in Texas!

Must have been those pesky anal glands.  Glad he's doing better now!

Once I rushed my Rudy to E-vet thinking it was his back again and turned out he had infected anal glands.  I felt so dumb, but was glad he was okay and it was easily treated.

It may very well have been the glands - they said they were very full, but not infected.  I am going to chart how often I have taken him - and be pro-active and get him there before they get full.  Brandy's weren't that full - so she can probably go every other time.

Hey Barb!  Glad to hear that Rudy Boy is feeling better.  It probably was just the glands but it is always a worry when we know that something is just "out of sorts".  I have been out of town since last friday and unable to check in.  I sure was happy to hear that he is doing well!
