May 5, 2013- Cinco de Mayo

REILLY AND HIS SIDEKICK THEODORE WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

May 4, 2013- Pawdicure at the vet!

Reilly will let me do anything to him... roll him over, clean his eyes, his ears, his teeth... the only thing he won't let me do is clip his toenails. I can touch and hold his feet, but do his nails? No way, no how. We have tried everything... the "Peticure", calming snacks, instructional videos we found on the 'net. Nothing has worked. He panics, jumps up and runs away.

We don't want him under that stress so we took him to the vet to get it done. He was a good boy and his nails are a nice healthy length now =)

May 3, 2013- Supervisor Reilly

The Reilly Bear was my supervisor earlier while I planted my flower garden. Somehow he got a petunia on his head (whistles innocently). He did really well hanging out on the porch, sometimes he was scared by the different sounds but I would just reassure him that he was ok =)

May 1, 2013- No more pain med and three weeks of pred to go!

Reilly is all finished with his pain med and doesn't seem to be in any pain at all =) And three more weeks of his prednisone and he will be med-free. Hopefully soon this (ahem, PREVENTABLE) heartworm catastrophe will be behind him.

April 27, 2013- First day post-injections

This is Reilly after he came home last night... funky haircut and all! So happy his injections are done! He has to stay on the Prednisone for another month and then he will be tested for heart worm again, at which point he should be negative. His vet said she's never has a case of positive heart worm after an animal has gone through such an intense regimen to get rid of them.

He is on Tramadol for pain again. The spots are very sore-- the medication was injected into his lower back muscle.

We are so proud of him. He is a total trouper!!

April 26, 2013- Last Immiticide injection done!!

Woo hoo!!! =D

April 25, 2013- Home from his second Immiticide treatment!

The Bear is home for the night! His vet said he did really well. He's on his bed fast asleep, knocked out from his painkillers. Tomorrow we do this all over again and it will be his last injection! Whew!
