My boy Apollo passed a week ago today. I have been having a really rough week but, it is starting to get better. This guy was only 3.5 years old. He was my buddy. His brother is really going to miss him.
Went in and after an overnight stay and spending a chunk of change at Blue Pearl (OP), we left with a game plan of strict kennel rest for 3 weeks. They thought it was something in his back, maybe a disc issue. Dr. said he has seen this kind of thing heal on it's own. We were going to do that before speding nearly $3K for an MRI. Unfortunately, that wasn't the right way to go. Turns out it was an infection. Wish I would have taken him to the local vet hospital in Topeka first. Even though Blue Peal knew there was a slight possibility that it was an infection, they didn't bother to try antibiotics as well. And the Prednisone he prescribed is also known to weaken immune systems.
