I will start with Magnum because his is all good news. Magnum weighed in at 176.4 pounds (He is now 1.3 years old) , He got his shots and brand new Rabies tag and had a follow up skin scrape and the demodex is completely gone! Yay. His fecal and heartworm test was negative but He has some little bumps on his back AGAIN and it is a skin infection so we started some new Antibiotics and he received a good dose of antibiotic injection to get him started. If they come back again, it will be time to invest in some allergy testing BUT He had a blast of course because he is an attention whore. LOL
Ruger's appointment did not go so well. I took him into the room (He was wearing his harness with two headed leash attached, His martingale with the traffic lead attached and his muzzle of course. As soon as the first women walked in, He gave her his "You came here to die" speech and began to move forward. I told him to settle and park it (Ruger knows that "park it" means that he is to sit and not move again unless I instruct him to) and he did. She took a step forward and although he stayed in the park it...He went all Cujo with the nastiest growl ever, showing all of his teeth and drooling like a rabid dog. He ignored command to stop although he never attempted to move forward. I saw it in her eyes and I knew we had just met the day I had a feeling we would come to. She wasn't going to touch him.....
We are officially at the point that Ruger will now have to be knocked out for his vet appointments.
My heart is broken. I had hoped to never have to go this route. I am scared to death about letting him get knocked out.......Sigh
