Happy Red Friday, Everyone.

Took Max back to vet today; they took x-rays and tested for heartworm and something that I have forgotten. They also tested for Valley Fever; we will not get the results of the Valley Fever test until sometime next week. If it comes back negative they will check him for heart disease. He is becoming a very expensive pet. Today's charges were $324.00. OUCH!! They left him on the expensive antibiotics ($5.75/pill @ 3 per day). They also said to give him adult dosage of cough syrup. I need to see if the Robitussin is still good.

Wishing everyone a great day.

Thank you for being here.

Tell Max I'm thinking of him.

I had been treated for heartworms when lonestar rescued me from those horrible people.

Oh, my gosh, Amy. You have sure had a lot on your plate lately. I've been praying for all of you.

Will Max take the cough medicine willingly? I would hate to think of you having to force it down his throat. :-(

I know what it is like to have an expensive pet. Chachi is about worth his weight in gold, literally. LOL.

I sure hope things ease up for all of you soon, including Max. My Grandfather had Valley Fever. I didn't know dogs could get it too.

Sorry you are going through so much with Max. And of course sorry for Max, too!! Yep, sometimes it can cost a small fortune for our pets! My dog, d’Ogee has the thickest chart in the whole office. Lets hope they can find out whats wrong with Max and fix him up!

I would say OUCH and other things! That is terrible, Amy. I am so sorry Max has been so sick. I only hope and pray that he makes a complete recovery. Poor thing. Our little animals are so pitiful when they're sick! They don't understand it all.

Amy, I hope that cloud thats been following you around goes away soon. I hope Marissa is doing well by now and that Mr.Just has recovered well from his surgery. I was away for a while because of my pain and when I was a bit better, my monitor went out. Its one thing or another it seems.

Hoping better days are speeding toward you and your family!
