Cooper’s awwee evaluated

DB took Cooper in this morning.  Yes, Rita, you were right, it is acrolick granuloma and his lymph nodes were swollen, too.  The vet prescribed a bunch of anti-biotics (heavier dosages) and Amitriptyline (heavy dosage,t oo), an anti depressant for him.  Plus he was given two shots of anti-biotics on his awwees.  The Amitriptyline is to sorta calm him down so he will not lick the awwees.  The vet said the awwees are like magnets to dogs.  They have to lick it and especially when you see they are healing, your buddy will lick them.

As I am typing this post, Cooper is out, flat out.  He looks a lot more mellower.  I came home from Satay2Go around 4:30ish, he came to greet me, wanted attention a bit and then was down.  Yeah, the meds are definitely kicking in good.  I can see the surroundings of the awwees are already drying up.

We have bring him back to the vet at the end of the month for  an eval.  I tell you, these vets sure knows how to make money.  Now they are charging ($39) for a recheck/evaluation.   This clinic we go to usually does not charge for rechecks.  Times must be bad for them, too?

Oh and the Elizabethan collar we bought him?  He had it on a few days and that fella found a way around it to lick his awwees.  So, now, it’s just sitting somewhere waiting to be put away.
