Best Beloved Benson

Hugs to Benson, poor guy.

Fink? Please to define, since I assume you all aren't using it in the dictionary terms (fink/fiNGk/ Noun: An unpleasant or contemptible person, in particular. Verb: Inform on to the authorities).

Poor pup, I'd say he's a hero.

Woah, weird - that animal century artist friended me on instagram recently. Eerie.

Lil man has a urinary tract infection (he was peeing blood :/) AND an ear infection. He's got meds now so hopefully he'll start feeling better soon. I just feel bad that I can't explain it to him. It must be uncomfortable and confusing.

Hugs to Benson.

sorry about ur mendelian sinuses, stay noble bens

(rude, mea culpa. duder's ear tubes are probably p tight, the drops will probably work (abx i assume). serious q: was he scratching or jabbing at his ear? kids do that, and pups are basically children in the using-your-words sense (terrible), so i'd be interested to know)

IANAV-ian

Yep - he was scratching at it like crazy last night which is what made me ask the vet to check it. I have heard that about babies how they'll poke or pull at their ears and that's what made me wonder about his tbh. They did give him ABX (shot for the UTI and drops for the ear) so hopefully he'll be a lot better soon.

babies (and all lower animals) really are the worst at relating their problems. you can't just poop your pants every time something goes wrong, this isn't mars

(pooping when you didn't want to poop = denmark is rotten, you never wanted this)

what is the deal with his kidney stone?

er, uti, i didn't scroll

lol, right?!

Two nights ago I noticed a couple drops of blood but I wasn't sure exactly where they were, er, coming from. Since I couldn't just ask him I got all investigative discovery up in here and put down paper towels hoping he'd remember to go there from when he was paper trained. He did and it was v obvious that it was in his urine. Apparently UTIs are pretty common in small dogs. What's is that rather than do expensive testing (UA and or x-rays to rule out stones) they're treating first since in 85% of dogs it is just a UTI and ABX will solve it. So he got a shot and his urine will be retested in 2 weeks. If at that point there's still blood (which I don't think there will be since there isn't even any this morning) then we'd go to x-rays.

Anyway, maybe that's not interesting but I just thought there whole approach sort of was and appreciated them not sending me immediately for $$ tests esp since he's acting totally fine and doesn't appear to be in any discomfort at all in that are. lol I really should have gone into medicine somehow. I love this stuff.

He's doing much better. Prob due to the hugs I gave him from TR. So the vet sent me this pic today from a couple weeks ago when they didn't go through with the ball chop and omg. He's doped up in his cage and looks so sad and cute it's ridic:

Why lay off the pics for a while? Nobody's complaining!

judging from b's expression in the first picture that big dog's nose got a little too close to his butt

Pair of fun dogs prove kiddie pools aren't just for kiddies anymore! :-)

lol

My boss asked me "what's so funny?" when I laughed looking at these at work.

"Oh, a picture."

benson

i keep thinking of the name benson

such a perfect name for that dog!

right

it certainly suits him and, let's face it, was better than any of the top placers here: Puppy Name Game

and i say that as someone who's proud of dog/name fit

I don't think I know what yours is named. ?

SANTIAGO

Yeah, that's a good name/fit.

i call him "santi", i named him that because i found him in east LA, so i knew he was a mexican dachshund, and i knew i was taking him home to san diego
