Hello world! It’s me Preston again. Well I thought I would share with you some of my health problems. I am a year and five months old and as I hang my head in shame I’m still not fully housetrained. I have tried and tried, and my parents have worked with me with several different techniques. At first I liked to mark everything (what young guy doesn’t?) but then I had surgery to fix that, as mom would say. But I kept having accidents. So back to the vet I went. I am having bladder infections and have already had three since I was a pup. So three weeks ago I went and they gave me some special mommy treats every day for two weeks. Mommy calls them pill pockets with antibiotics in them. I went back on Saturday for a follow up and they made me pee in a ladle to collect a sample. Well the test came back and it says my bladder was still “acting up.” The infection has gotten worse. So another 10 days of special mommy treats with a different stronger antibiotic. Then back to the vet for another test and maybe an x-ray to see if I have bladder stones. I don’t think I do because I know for a fact I don’t eat stones! They are too hard to chew and swallow, believe me I have tried back in my pup days. Above is a picture of me on the vets table. See I’m not too happy..they had just stuck a thermometer where no thermometer should go!
Hang in there Preston!
