| 11/11/05: Big Scooby received
a complete check up, senior K9 Profile, HW test and a fecal flotation
test. Scooby is recovering from kennel cough. He also has severe dental
disease - most of his teeth are rotten, his gums are bleeding and are full
of pus and infection. Scooby also has a mass growing above one of his back
molars. Scooby has bilateral cataracts. He also has what looks like a mast cell tumor the size of a grape on his chin and several large fatty cysts. The largest fatty cyst is on his tummy and is the size of a baseball. Scooby has mild arthritis in his back legs and hips. Medications: Clindamycin for infection caused by severe dental disease. Rimadyl for pain management. Glucosamine supplements for arthritis. |
|||
| 11/14/05: Scooby had surgery today to
remove the mass on his chin. He also had a dental (scaling, polishing
and 17 extractions) to remove all the rotten teeth and the growth
above his back molar. Scooby did really well today and is resting comfortably
at his foster home. |
|||
| 11/15/05: Scooby is like a new dog! Despite
the numerous extractions he is full of energy and wants to play with the
other dogs at his foster home. He actually pushes the other pups out of his
way until he is first in line for treats and he is not a bit shy with his
demands for attention and ear scritches. |
|||
| 11/18/05: During the day Scooby has fun
chasing the squirrels in the back yard and in the evenings enjoys sitting
on the couch watching TV with his foster family. We recently found out that
Big Scooby LOVES cheeseburgers! After a snack involving a tasty cheeseburger
he shows his appreciation by wiping his beard on the rug several times and
growling. lol |
|||
| 1/02/06: Scooby has been diagnosed with
advanced osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in his left leg and hip. Because of
his age (14+ years old) and how quickly the cancer has spread, aggressive
therapy (amputation and chemotherapy) is not a realistic option for this
sweet boy. Medications: Tramadol for pain management. |
|||
| 1/28/06: Big Scooby continues to amaze
us with his strength and determination. He still pushes the other dogs out
of his way until he is front and center for anything involving food or
treats. He gives kisses, plays with his toys, naps with his buddy Fritz,
and is an inspiration to us all. This little scottie is one in a million. |
