....run in circles, scream and shout.
A little over a week ago my leetle one-eyed jack, Buster, developed some kind of illness that has yet to be determined. He sneezed continuously, wheezed, coughed and gagged until he was weak. Off to our trusty veterinarian we went and after much probing, prodding and poking, they couldn't find anything but admitted they didn't have an endoscope and that's what was needed to really take a good look around. After a couple of days of him not getting any better, in spite of antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory drug, we took him back. Then they decided that he must have inhaled cheatgrass up one nostril. The suggested we call WSU School of Veterinary Science clinic. After two calls and leaving messages and they have NEVER called me back, we started calling other veterinarians in the area and found one that does have an endoscope. So we took him to them, and same thing, they couldn't find anything. But the good news is that The Bustmeister seems to be about a thousand times better than he was a week ago. He still sneezes on occasion, but he appears to be feeling great. He's back to his old self, playing, running around the yard, eating and just being himself. Big relief. Here's a fairly recent photo of him that was taken after he had his eye removed a couple of months ago. I was going to post a photo of him post-op but looking back on it, it's kind of scary what with all the swelling and stitches going on.
