Four month old puppy is sick. He’s on antibiotics and pain meds while we wait for his Lyme panel to come back, but I’m a mess.
Our four month old puppy was his normal, hyper puppy self yesterday with just some minor diarrhea. Then in the evening he started limping like it hurt to walk. This morning he had a fever, completely stopped eating and wasn’t moving at all! We took him to the vet and bloodwork came back as high white blood cell count and slightly anemic. Vet suspects Lyme, but we’re in an area with very few ticks - dogs aren’t regularly given the Lyme vaccine because it’s so rare here. She gave him subcutaneous fluids and has him on antibiotics and pain meds until the Lyme panel comes back after Labor Day. But I’m a mess! I’m terrified he’s going to pass away in the night. He did start eating again, but he’s just so miserable it’s breaking my heart! Any reassurances or similar experiences that ended well would help!
