Well, this afternoon we took Comba to the vet.
Right away she said he has a fungal infection on his head. You know, the mysterious white blob of gross skin? EUREKA! A FUNGUS! That might not be exciting to you but its thrilling for me to know that its something totally curable.
Now, he's had diarrhea for a bit and I brought in a sample, and low and behold he's drinking too much water. I honestly did NOT think that was possible. But she said to cut him back on water, as he's taking in way too much.
She also advised me to feed him more than what the package states because he's a little bit underweight for his age and size.
He's now at the puppy spa getting his wash and clipped nails and anal glands done and all kinds of wonderful things. He will be grouchy with me, but he will be alright.
Next week he gets all of his puppy shots, she won't do it because she says he is underweight, young and will be on a short treatment plan for his head lump.
Apparently the vaccinations won't work if hes on an antibiotic.
Good to know, right?
The vet service is amazing. She let us be in the room for every test, and every pinch and poke and they never "took him to the back" or anything. He was right with me the whole time and I can't say enough how much I appreciate them.
We'll be picking him up from his spa day in a few hours. And Im really thrilled to have him get better, and gain weight and rid of his lump fungus.
Okay, thanks for all your inputs and sharing in my excitement!
