How sweet! He is doing great. A LOT calmer.

Poor Tayto had to say goodbye to his family jewels today. Vet said they were the largest she’s ever had to remove, including a St. Bernard’s 😂 he’s home and recovering now ❤️

Hahah feel the same about Tayto!

Aw I'm so sorry to hear this! The bulldog scream is the saddest thing I've ever heard. Tayto had sprained his knee and made those sounds so wonder if it could be something like that?

Thanks to everyone for the love and support! Tayto is doing MUCH better. He's practically back to his old goofball self. His temperature has consistently been around 99.1, he's eating normally and wants to play and snuggle again.

Plain or Greek?

Thank you soo much!! Tayto came home this afternoon as he was deemed clinically stable. He is going to continue on a heavy dose of antibiotics with nebulization and coupaging to help break up the pneumonia. As for the other symptoms, we are waiting for those results still...

Totally. His vet is also my good friend so we have a pretty open/candid relationship. She wanted to prescribe him a broad spectrum anti-biotic at first until he could come back in for further tests. I'm taking him today to do another x-ray and urinalysis to get to the bottom of it.

The saga continues...we took Tayto in to the vet again as he was still acting very lethargic and sad. They did bloodwork and found his white blood cells were really high. Vet thinks it may be a bone infection. He's on a heavy duty regimen of anti-biotics so hoping they will kick the infection...

Thank you for all the advice!!

According to our vet, Tayto has a deep tissue strain in his back right knee. We noticed him yelping and not acting like himself about two weeks ago and took him in to get X-rays. They prescribed anti-inflammatory which seemed to help a bit. But he’s still been acting very lethargic, licking his...
