And Now Some Really Good News

I spoke with Snoop's Dr. today, and his test for kidney disease came back negative, Thank God!!! She said she had to read 7 other urine tests last night, and others weren't so lucky. So, Snoop takes antibiotics 3x/day for the next 30 days, then he will get a Lyme vaccine, which he'll get for the rest of his life now, then he will go back in 6 mo. to recheck his levels. Rocky has his check up in 2 weeks, so hopefully we won't be riding the same roller coaster all over again. Even though I have kids, my animals are still like kids to me, too, and I've always treated my animals like they were born into this family, so it is very devastating when things like this happen, I go through the same guilt of what did I do wrong, how could this have happened, etc. But what matters most right now is my Snoops is okay, and he's getting plenty of treats to celebrate.
