Well, look who is doing very well since his allergy shot! He also needed antibiotics for the allergy infection and ear infection from allergies. He’s our delicate flower! Pets Best Insurance Services has become our best friend and savior. 🤦‍♀️ Can’t wait for this extreme allergy season to be over! He has 24/7/365 allergies like his mama, but this is the absolute worst time of year for Gus.

When environmental allergies are that bad that a collar is needed to stop the licking. He’s had a Zoetis Petcare shot (due for another shot Friday), has Apoquel pills (Apoquel®) in addition to the Zoetis Petcare shot for a time during peak season and is good without it for a time (winter), but he takes a turn for the worst just a few days before another allergy shot. I applied a medicated foam to his paw to ease the redness and swelling, but it’s just not enough to keep him from licking. It definitely helped, but not 100% like it did yesterday. Thank God for Pets Best Insurance Services for their great insurance coverage! My poor boy just can’t catch a break!

Gus and Astrid have, unexpectedly, lost the queen of their pack, Ellie. Ellie’s parents are heart broken. Gus and Astrid are ok for right now as their daily routine had changed over the last couple of weeks due to Astrid’s cruciate ligament surgery. Astrid got used to Ellie coming here without her during the day and Gus got used to not seeing Ellie on the weekends. Ellie was a sweet girl who will be sorely missed. She was only 10. 😞😭

Family flying in tomorrow and staying with us a few days so we installed another AC as it’s supposed to be very hot and humid the next few days. Gus approves of the AC. 😆🥵

Great news!! Gus’s regular vet does not agree with the surgery. She saw the biopsy from last week and did another one. It was different and didn’t see signs of it being a tumor. It sits on top of scar and scar tissue may have something to do with it. He’s home now. Phew! Dodged a bullet. She gave him a shot for his allergies, which may need to be done this time of year every year seeing that he’s very itchy and his regular allergy medicine is just not enough right now. Yay! Pets Best Insurance Services The bill won’t be as high as anticipated! 🥰😉

Little man goes to the vet tomorrow to have the tumor removed. Hoping and praying for the best outcome. Fourth surgery in his 3 short years. 🤦‍♀️ Thank God we have great insurance! Pets Best Insurance Services is amazing! Highly recommend! The OG (Original Gus 😆) will be down and out for a while, again. Poor boy. 😭

Gotta let Gus have as much water fun as possible before his surgery! First, he went in the pool. When that was done, I did his favorite….chase the water out of the hose/sprinkler. 🥰

This sweet 3 year old boy should not be going through all of this at such a young age. He’s on meds for the extra histamines running through his body causing him discomfort, because of this mast. He’s also on antibiotics. Yet, another summer season he misses out on due to another surgery. (Same time of year last year when we had to stop walking, play, had surgery, etc.) Not as bad as TPLO and then the infection requiring another surgery to remove the plate, but still a big surgery with an unknown future, which I’m told has a positive outlook, because I caught it so early. He just can’t catch a break! 😞
