Mr Goober is doing better....or at least as good as he can be.
He had his vet visit. He was scraped for Mange and came back negative so he is being treated for sarcoptic just in case. His temp was a little high. His bloodwork all came back good, thyroid was a little low though. He weighs roughly 22 lbs.
In the past few days we have been giving him Prednisone, Benadryl, Tresaderm for his ears and lots of TLC. He is on a diet of strictly salmon and brown rice with some fish oil mixed in. His redness has gone down. His skin is starting to flake, almost like all the scales falling off a fish. Hopefully this is a sign of healing.
He seems happier. Still sleeps most of the time but has been a little peppier and affectionate. He is attempting to push the gate down now because he wants to join the rest of the pack. Poor little guy has a ways to go before that can happen.
Goober is going to look so good once he gets better. He is so thankful for Tara Bruno pulling him before the unspeakable happened!

CAn you tell me what they finally decided Goober had? We have a Boston and he started looking like this about 5 days ago. We started a new shampoo with Omega's in it, a after bath spray with omega's, added salmon treats, he was already on benadryl/zyrtec and a diet of sweet peas, carrots and baked chicken.
