Pup on the mend and a birthday wish

What a tough week this has been emotionally! Last Wednesday we took Samson in to the vet for a "sore" that was on his back, she thought it was related to diabetits, so they ran a senior panel test and the Gluclose levels were very high, did'nt think anythiing else of the "sore" at that point no pain to the touch.

But then on Sunday Morning we noticed that the small sore had turned into a golfball size lump and was leaking puss/blood, so Monday morning we went in to the vet right at open and they decided to keep him so they could put him under and clean it out.They think it was a spider bite,it was quit messy in there, there were three punture wounds and the yucky stuff coming out was typical of spider bites that have got infected. Mind you this was all in a 4 day period. I Wonder what type of spider it was??

But thankfully this did happen because that is how we found out he was a diabetic. So tonight we start his first round of insilun. I know this will make him better I am just very nervous to give him the shots, thankfully my dear husband will be doing the first rounds so I can watch him. I am happy now that we know the cause of his weight loss and excessive drinking. He is one tough cookie and we hope to have him with us a few more good years :)

Tonight is crochet night. I feel like that is all I have been doing latley. I am trying to finish up my husbands blanket he asks me daily if it is finished.... almost honey almost :)

I hope you all have a wonderful night and if ya'll could do me a favor it is my super duper dear friends birthday, ya'll might know her :D Valeris Birthday swing by her blog and wish her a happy birthday Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!!!

  2. Glad to hear your pup is on the mend. My Hubby had a spider bite very much like your pup's. Not fun and he was one sick man. We never did figure out what kind of spider it was... Gives me the heebee-geebees

  3. Oh wow! A spider bite? Really? Well thank goodness for that spider since it's how you discovered his diabetes. You will be a pro at giving the shots in no time and your fur baby will be happy and healthy.
