Jake is very sick right now. We left on vacation on Saturday to northern Ontario, he's with us. We made lots of stops on the way and we noticed about half way here his leg was starting to swell up. By Sunday night he'd stopped eating and it was still swelling and spreading all up and down his leg. We took him to a local vet on Monday who gave us antibiotics and recommended we take him to emergency in Winnipeg. Monday night I drove him to Winnipeg and they started him on IV antibiotics and started running tests. They can't figure it out and feel his best hope to possibly save the leg is to take him to the vet college in Saskatoon. I called my vet back home and she said the facility in Winnipeg that he's in is excellent and if they are that concerned then we should take their recommendation. So we've packed up and are heading to Saskatoon in the morning.
We are very scared that we are going to lose him, we can deal with it if he loses the leg, we have rehab facilities back home, but we just want to do everything possible so we don't lose our sweet baby boy.
These are from Tuesday morning.
