"When it rains it pours"
That is what the vet said when I had to take Peter to the vet the day after we spent WAYYYYY too much money on Angus. Peter hadn't been acting right for a couple of days but with the obvious problem of Angus, he got over looked a little. So, on Wednesday morning I had to take him in because he was a sick kitty.
Turns out he had a blocked urethra. Let's just say that if the damn thing stops up again, he is going to have to be put down. I know that a lot of people don't like hearing that, but seriously, we just can't afford surgery for an animal. He ended up spending 2 days in the "hospital". It was tough going, and even though it wasn't as bad as one of our kids being gone, it came pretty close.
Oh, the end prognosis on Angus was that he had a type of mange. Mange, which I didn't know, is caused by parasitic infestation of the skin, microscopic mites . The vet said that all dogs have it but their body usually keeps it in check. I guess due to Angus age, 12, his body just wasn't fighting it. I would put a picture up of the poor dog right after we brought him home, but it is gross.
So, there has been a lot of pouring rain going on at the Creech household this week. I have to believe that "this too, shall pass". I hope.
