Back Where He Belongs

OLIVER IS HOME!!!!!!!!

I just brought him back from the Vet's office. I had to take an hour trade time at work, but I don't care. He is home and he is better and I am SOOOOO grateful.

The Vet says he believes Oliver has toxoplasmosis. All his tests came back great accept for that one. The treatment is about 3 weeks of antibiotics twice daily. He requires such a high dosage that the liquid form is out of the question. They do not have a shot they can give him so I have to give him these pills instead. Which is going to be hard since he is such a fighter. I usually put the liquid form into some ice cream and give it to him. I have to give him his first does tonight. The Vet told me to go to a pharmacy and buy a pill crusher and then that way I can still slip it in some ice cream. I will have to do that tonight after work.

The doctor told me to monitor Oliver closely. Make sure he does not become dehydrated again. He may suffer from diarrhea and I need to let them know that. I just put down some fresh food and water and treats for him. I'm just so giddy to have him home. I hate to leave him but the $900 vet bill I just charged has to get paid somehow.
