After getting home from Roswell, we noticed our Dog Rico, wasn't feeling well. Hell, he wasn't feeling at all, just laid on the couch and slept. So we got an appt for the vet.
Vet checked him over, did blood tests, come to find out..My standard Poodle, has Addisons Disease (underactive Adrenal gland)
Poor Rico was so sick..I can't even explain it well enough..lets just say..he looked like he was dying in front of us.
So we do research on Addisons. Prognosis is great, one drawback, Rico will be on medications for the rest of his life. One of the medications, cortisol replacement drug..is $100 a shot, and he needs that to begin with..every 25 days.
*sigh*.. I love Rico..and money is no object. Would be different if he was 15 yrs old..but he's only 3. So off to the vets we go. After just ONE shot..he's almost our Rico Man again!
It's been a long and stressful week, but with a few good spots. Another order for a skull via Craigs List. I'm very busy with the skulls, getting the information out there. Hopefully by this time next year, things will be greatly different.
