Weekly check-up

All went well on Wednesday at Mark's. Mark said he couldn't believe how well Troy was doing. He got his usual vitamin B injection.

Troy's hotspot however has flared up again. This is the first time that I haven't used anything on a hotspot other than hibiscrub, and it isn't clearing properly now. Mark has given me some Fuciderm cream which seems to be helping already.

A lovely walk in the park today

And I took some pictures and a couple of videos.

And the video clip here:

Normal poo

Since Tuesday night, Troy's poos have been solid, though still a bit mucuousy. He hasn't messed indoors since.

Today, he had the first perfectly normal poo! Yay! He is now also back on CSJ18 with fresh meat.

He is now happy again, waiting at the door when I come home, and feeling much brighter again. I've got my old boy back.

Troy getting better

On Monday and Tuesday, Emily and I cleaned the carpets furiously after Troy messed indoors several times a day. Troy was so stressed about it, eventhough I kept telling him it didn't matter and wasn't a problem. (My carpets have never been cleaner LOL).

Last night he had the first solid poo! And when Emily went in today in the morning and after lunch, there was no poo either. So hopefully we have finally turned the corner now.

As Troy had a solid poo last night, Mark didn't give Troy anything for it this morning and he just got his vitamin B injection as usual.

I also shaved a patch of fur off Troy's back again yesterday as he has a hotspot again in the same place. It's not too bad yet, so it should heal fairly quickly.

Poor man, he really is going through the mills! I'll be able to start walking him a little again now as I haven't taken him out since Sunday.

Troy collapsed again

This morning, I went for a little walk before the chiro session. Troy has had diarrhea since yesterday and at the end of the 20-minute walk, he tried to go to toilet (though nothing came out). She strained so hard, that in the end, his hind legs collapsed. Luckily it wasn't far from Susan's front door.
I managed to somehow walk him in there by supporting him. After Susan did the treatment and by the time we had finished all of us, he was much better, looked happier again and walked steady again.
He did however not right his hind foot when he waited outside the door... so the neurological control for his hind legs is getting worse. Up to now, he would always eventually correct the back paws, but he has now stopped doing that by the looks of it.

I hope that his diarrhea will clear up quickly. I tried to use up the CSJ Lamb Lite/Senior with lots of mince meat, but it doesn't seem to suit neither Troy nor Dylan, so I am taking them off of it again straight away and will put them back onto either CSJ CP18 or possibly Acana... not sure yet.

Progress report and some pictures

Troy is now going to the vet's every Wednesday to get his vitamin B injection. It is really helping him well.

However, sometimes he doesn't seem to feel so great, and he is also pooing indoors more often now. But he still loves his walks, is not confused or anything and is not overly stressed - though sometimes he can get a bit stressed, I guess when he is not feeling too well.

Here are some pictures taken on 3rd October
