Donovan's Days

I'm All Better!

Kensington vet hospital called and told Mom nothing grew. That means the e.coli that I had is all gone!
Of course that means no more hamburger. I kind of guessed there were pills in the hamburger but it was so good I just ate it pills and all.
It really isn't worth being sick just to get hamburger. I get good treats most of the time anyway. Mom did just run out of treats but we should be getting some in a week or so. P.A.W.S. delivers my food and treats as well as Luna's food. She doesn't like treats. Mom is thinking of putting Luna's treats in with her food and seeing if she will eat them that way. I'm going, "Mom, I'll eat her treats." Mom won't let me have them though.
Mom is really glad I'm better. She keeps petting me and saying I'm a good dog. I figure that's because I took my medicine and got better. Let's just hope that I don't need anymore hamburger.

Quite a Summer and Fall

I went to the vet for a dental checkup and the vet said, "Those teeth have got to go!" All my upper teeth were crowded and had turned sideways. That let pockets form between my teeth and all the pockets were infected. I got 16 teeth pulled. I have my front teeth left and my large molar on the bottom. I had to take clavamox for ten days to take care of the infection in my gums. The dental surgery happened on the 19th of August 2011.
About the time that my mouth was healed, my mom noticed me peeing blood. She took me to the vet again and they did a culture. I had e.coli and had to take keflex for a month. I am just done with the keflex and hope that there is nothing else wrong. I feel good and the weather is just starting to be cool like I like it.

I'd like to know what's going on!

First I went to the vet and they made me go to sleep. Then while I was asleep they did something to my mouth. I was really groggy when my mom came to get me. When I got home I kept trying to sit up and figure out what was different, but I kept falling over. Mom finally put me on the couch and propped my head up with pillows. Thanks Mom!
The next day was great! I got raw hamburger, two big mouthfuls. Then I got canned dog food! I still don't know what they did to my mouth but I like all this hamburger and canned dog food.
I think I figured out what they did. They took most of my teeth out. It doesn't matter. They hurt anyway besides I'm not supposed to bite anybody anyway.
One thing bothers me. Mom stopped giving me hamburger, and she is not giving me other treats. She keeps saying, "Soon, soon." Soon seems like a long time away.
My mouth feels a lot better. It's not puffy anymore. I can feel where my teeth were but that doesn't worry me. I still have my front teeth so I still look tough.
