"Boo Boo Ride Car"

"Boo Boo ride car" again this morning for his last trip to the vet for a while. He was diagnosed with a type of Pemphigus - the "good" type, that is. While still an immune disease, Pemphigus is not as bad as Lupus. The vet had thought he would probably be on steroids indefinitely, but with his diagnosis, we are trying steroids for only 2 weeks to jump start healing on his falling off nose. This is also good news as the steroids are hard on little doggie bodies. He will be on a vitamin and antibiotic 3 times a day, indefinitely, but we'll take it. The vet hopes he will be able to come off of them eventually. In the meantime, the steroids should make him very hungry, so we're hoping he'll fill out a little, and the antibiotic is supposed to be taken either with a meal, or a piece of hot dog, peanut butter, etc. so I'm sure Bear will be quite pleased with that :-) I'll be sure to post a picture of the little guy as soon as his picture won't gross you out.

It's a good day for Boo Boo!
