James – Thank you!
Laoch – he seems back to normal but still on the Prednisone alternating days for another 2 weeks.

Cilicious – thank you! And he’s improving every day
Uncannyman – our beloved pets do become a family member and when they hurt we hurt. Glad yours recovered from it’s injuries.
Keli – unfortunately there is much less testing to bring a pet med to market and side effects even less discussed it seems

That’s wonderful news! I’m sure he’ll be his old self soon.
When meds have this kind of effect on canines, it makes me wonder what they do to humans (the authentic ones anyway!)(;

Glad to know Poco is recovering well, it’s always wonderful to see a “family” member getting better I had a dog once and he went through the same situation as yours, except that he had a nasty fight with the local stray dogs. He ended up with some stitches on his neck, and he was quiet and week for 3-4 days. He recovered within a week or so

I am so glad that he is better!
What a rough time for him and for you.

Laoch – Thank You!
Grandalfe – I’m still feeling like a very bad owner, he put his trust in us and we in the Vet, and we failed him.
Karen- me too!
Mary – I will never put any chemical like this on him again. We’ve had 3 Chihuahua’s since the mid 80′s, none of them were treated and none ever had a flea or tick! If Poco does recover enough to go hiking again you can be sure I’ll be looking at other options.

Thank Goodness!! If you take him hiking in the future, I suggest a good anti-flea/tick shampoo and a bath before and after. Maybe one of the old reliable flea collars?? Hope Poco recovers fully.

I’m so glad he’s finally improving. I hope he makes a full recovery!
