So ya, I missed the last three weeks. I figure I will post this one early this week...yes, that will make you forget about the last couple weeks. I had a good reason though. The day after my last post, N got sick...and then she got J sick. I guess they got the flu and they were sick for a week. I had my paws full trying to be a supportive puppy while they were sleeping or trying to hack up a lung. N got better around the 24th and J got better around the 26th. It then took them the next week or so to get back into the swing of things. Apparently typing up my blog entries was last on the list of things.
Anyways, back to the title of this entry. Yes, I am still in the cone. The infection that I had on my lip has cleared up but it is still inflamed and so darn itchy. I had been going to the vet every week for like three weeks. So they took me to another vet last week. It was great! It was way on the other side of the city...almost in the next little city where the airport is. We had to take the big bus to get there. It was fun cus we went up top and I could look out the window. Once at the vet, there was another dog that came in that was so BIG that it's head is as big as me. He was barking and because he was sooo big, his bark was really loud and scary, but he was happy not menacing. I didn't really care too much, I wanted to go see the receptionists but J would not let me.
So to the lament. Once I saw the vet, he said that my puffiness and itchiness is likely due to allergies. So now to figure out whether it is food or some sort of environmental allergy, they are testing the food side. Apparently this means that I get a new food...but only that food. I like the new food but now it means that I don't get any more peanut butter or banana or cheese or anything else, not even the pumpkin that I used to get on my food. And we all know how much we love peanut butter and banana. So now I am a sad little cone head. AND I have to be on this strict diet for six weeks! At the moment, one week down, five to go. I also am still in the cone so that I can't scratch my face and end up cutting it again. I hope that this gets sorted out soon. If it clears up with the food then we know that it was a food allergy and then J and N will be able to introduce other foods one at a time to see it they did caused the allergy...I may be able to get my pumpkin back. If it isn't a food allergy, then I get everything back but then I guess I will have to in for more tests. I will get out of this cone eventually!
So that is all for now. Eat some banana and peanut butter for me!
