Dino Update

Just a quick Dino update.  He has been home since Sunday evening, and although he has been very apathetic and doesn't have much appetite, we were encouraged to see that the swelling is going down in the snake bite area.  Today Dino started with respiratory complications (lung infection) and we are fearing for his kidney function once again.  At this point there is nothing we can do exept let time do the healing.  The vet means it's a temporary setback, I'm sure he's right. 
In the meantime, I'm getting little sleep, and little work done. 
Hoping that we are going to see a marked improvement soon!

  1. Megan, we must trust the Vet. I know it's extremely difficult on you and Henning. Please try to get some rest so that you can be refreshed so that you can take care of that precious little boy. Just try laying down, maybe next to Dino.

    BIG HUGS and little kisses to Dino.

    1. Hi Joyce
      Was lying down next to Dino all night. He has fits of sneezing interspersed with sleeping and snoring like a tractor. I'm sure glad I don't always have to sleep with him! Dino doesn't look better this morning, but not worse either. I'm going to make him lie outside in the sun when it warms up later. It's got to start getting better soon! Will keep you updated. Thanks for the kind thoughts.
