More Rudy updates


If you read the post and see the pictures below you will see that our Chocolate Lab, Rudy had gone through quite an ordeal over the last several weeks.

It is so great to have happy endings when it comes to our pets who are also our family members. But, even though we found Rudy he still has had some major challenges to overcome as his body heals from the inside out.












Below are some more Facebook updates that I posted as we went through the days of recovery for Rudy.

Rebecca Stevens Helvey taking Rudy to the vet :'(

Rebecca Stevens Helvey Rudy may have a bite under his arm (very possible since we found him in an animal's den) causing fever,shaking,swelling & loss of appetite. The Vet optimistic about him getting back to normal w/ the 3 different antibiotics that I will have to MAKE him take. Better Outcome than I was expecting!!!! YEAH! Cross your Fingers!!

NOT FOR THE THOSE w/ WEAK Stomachs!!We took Rudy to the vet again on Friday..The abcess under his arm has gotten so bad that it has eaten away at the skin & hair. Learned it was probably because of Brown Recluse Spider bites.






By far the worst thing I have ever seen on an animal or human being for that matter! Poor Rudy! We finally had to place the "cone of shame" on him to keep him from biting and chewing at his wound.
