Wackies

Monday, June 02, 2008



Our poor Kona is not doing well these pass few days. We noticed that he started limping last week on and off and decided to bring him in to get his paws checked out. When Wackie brought him in, Kona would not let the Vet or Wackie touch his paw. It was decided that we had to bring him in the next day to get it checked out. The vet ended up having to put him under to check his paw and turned out that all of his nails were in poor shape. She mentioned that it could either be an infection or his immune system failing! It was so bad that 2 of his nails peeled right off when they were checking him (hence his colorful bandage). He's on anti-biotic for the next 30 days, plus a bath for his feet everyday. We are also trying to add in Omega 3 fatty acid supplement into his diet to see if it's something that is missing in his diet. If all of these don't work, then it means his immune system is poor. Well, this was all completed on Friday, and as of right now, Kona is right back at the Vet. While trying to chase him back into the house (since he's not suppose to be outside for long periods), something happened to one of his back paws causing him to bleed lots. Wackie had to come home to bring back to the Vet. We're waiting for the Dr.'s call. We're feeling the pain of vet bills...
